Vintage Clown...

 I LOVE this image from A Day For Daisies - there is a set of three Vintage Clowns that are referenced below under supplies in case you want to check them out.  Fun to color!  And I used a tag for the sentiment on this one.

This card was created for the fortnight challenge "Any Sentiment You Want" at Aud Sentiments.  A Day For Daisies graciously provided  images for the design team to use.

TECHNIQUE

I started with an A2 size base card in a yellow-gold color.  The "Vintage Bell Clown" image was printed out and I colored him with Copics.  This layer was matted with the base card CS.  The next step was to stamp the background with the Print Pattern using "Wild Honey" & "Rusty Hinge" Distress Inks.  Extra stamp-offs of this were used for the tag and for the interior.  To kick up the texture and detail, I added gold foil to the bow tie and to the dingle-bells hanging off his clothing & the bells.  Faux brads were created for the intersection point of the diamonds in the background by using a 1/16th hole punch, gluing the hole centers down and then applying gold foil to them.  The interior has faux stitches around the message panel.
