Now on to my project. It's a layout using Graphic 45's Le Cirque collection titled Le Cirque de Fluff. :)
I created a fun layout of my puppy using Graphic 45's Le Cirque collection. My puppy's a little fluff-ball as you can see. Hence the title Le Cirque de Fluff. The layout comprises many layers, beginning with the background concentric circles, followed by the photograph matted on a corrugated cardboard and finally the embellishments of flowers, clowns and ribbons.
I cut out images of the clowns from the patterned paper and layered them with Prima flowers and vines which were intertwined through the curled May Arts ribbon.
Two twirled May Arts ribbons hug the top left corner of the photograph.
The tightrope artiste walks a yellow and white tightrope of May Arts twine.
The fun title cluster...
