I was a bit inspired when I saw the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches, not only to join in but to use a set I haven't inked up often! I knew also that it would fit well with Crazy 4 Challenges this week which is to use polka dots and stripes!
I knew I wanted to use the Big Top Birthday set, and I chose the clown stamp for this one. To stamp without using the sentiment that usually accompanies the clown I used a post-it note as a mask and then added the Celebrate stamp from Outlined Occasions, I chose some nice bright colours and did some simple colouring in - I didn't think water colouring really fitted with the card.
