Circus Theatre by Lora Mahaffey & New Tim Holtz Halloween
Filed under Cirque Paper Theatre Kit, Giveaways, Halloween, Lora Mahaffey, Newsletters, Tim Holtz
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Lora’s project that are still available on the new site.
Continuing on with the July Theme and the July Kit: Cirque Paper Theatres is Design Team Member Lora Mahaffey’s witty little Circus Theatre!
The clowns must be on strike: just look at that guy snoozing atop Samson the elephant! And the clown on the far left reading a newspaper! I love the extra punch of color Lora gave the accents, using the New and On Sale! Lipstick Red Copic Sketch Marker. (Since the Copic Markers are alcohol based, they can be layered over other printed papers to tint (or bump up the color) still allowing the original designs to show through.)
I also love the smaller choice of shadowbox Lora used on this piece: Small Square Chipboard Shadowboxes. The little curtains from the Toy Paper Theatres and Tall Paper Theatre and Curtains Collage Sheets work really well on this 4″ wide shadowbox.
Here is Lora’s Supply List, and you can see more pictures on her blog.
Psst: with all the elephants in Lora’s artwork, today’s Giveaway has a Circus Elephant theme! (See below for photos and more details.)
Halloween! Yes, more new goodies are arriving at a steady pace! It is definitely our favorite holiday (and the new Tim Holtz items, below, are great additions).
Note: last Thursday we announced a FREE Collage Sheet, and that offer is still on: a Cirque Picks Collage Sheet is FREE for all orders over $20! More info and a photo are below.
