The Circus Has Come To Town!!

So, in my effort to get in shape, I've signed up for classes at the local YMCA. I've been going to the water aerobics which has been great in so many ways (it's easy on my ankle that I sprained in the spring, I don't sweat, I get a really good core workout in the deep end, I don't sweat, and I don't sweat). The instructor has the most fit body, and she also teaches Pilates. So, in my infinite wisdom I thought, "You can do Pilates....you're still young and you can take it easy until you catch on." What the heck was I thinking!!!!! I went on Monday - I knew I was sore, but I still went to water aerobics on Tuesday....now I can barely move. After this post I'm going to heat up my ginger therapy heat pack (from Origins) and pray to the Pilates gods for relief!!

Now on to the card...


This card was created for today's sketch challenge at SCS. I used one of the newest stamp sets from MyGrafico - Circus by Zenware. I thought it was appropriate to use because today's Pilates class (that I skipped) was using the stability balls!! Jen (Zenware) has created two new sets (Circus and Slumber Party/Sleepover), and they are absolutely ADORABLE!! I'll have some more cards with these images soon.

I combined the images of the clown girl and seal to create this scene. The sentiment, You're a Class Act!, was printed using Arnold 2.1 font. The image was colored with my Copics (see color list below) and I added some glitter to the girl's skirt with my Gelly Roll Stardust pen in green.
