Color Throwdown #255 + Curtain Call: Carnival Craze

When I saw the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Carnival Craze photos my eye was immediately drawn to the penny farthing image. I picked up the Memory Box Vintage Bicycle die a while back at a local store. It is one of those purchases that I hesitated about, but then decided I didn't want to regret not having it at some point down the road :)



The colors were similar enough to those in the Color Throwdown #255,  I decided to combine the challenges and created this birthday card.




As you can see, I pulled together a number of elements from the Curtain Call: the multiple fonts and print size from the poster, the tickets and the bicycle.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

      Yes - the plan was to paper piece it, but that got ugly fast so I cut another white one and colored it with copics :)
