The Circus is in Town!

When I was a girl back to school, fall and Halloween meant the BIG CIRCUS was coming to town.  I loved going to the three ring circus!  My favorite acts to watch were the trapeze artists and the horse back riders!  What were your favorites?

Today I am honoring my memories of the circus with a folding card!



Supplies:
Altered Pages Victorian Circus collage sheet
Dixie Belle Flamingo Paint
Secret Garden 6x6 Pad
Dew Drops
Ribbon
Staples
12 x  12 brown cardstock
ScorPal
Tacky Glue
Glue Stick
For base of the folding card cut 12 x  12 brown cardstock 12 x 5 1/2 inches, then with ScorPal score lengthwise at 1 1/2 inches.  Turn and score at 3, 6 and 9 inches.
 

 
Dry brush the base brown cardstock with Dixie Belle Flamingo Paint, let dry.
 

 
Fussy cut images from the Altered Pages Victorian Circus collage sheet adhere with Glue Stick to papers from the  Secret Garden 6x6 PadUse Glue Stick to adhere the images to the front of the folded pockets.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
