Life is a Circus (especially in the summer)

Hi everyone! I hope your summer is going well. Mine has been crazy busy. One would think with two teens, I’d have more time to myself. Um, no. There is always something going on.

I have a fun/simple card to share today using a new to me (but “older”) stamp set by Paper Smooches – Enjoy the Show. I’ve also used a great “behind the scenes” X-Press It product you may want to try. : )

I stamped the image with Taylored Expressions’ Oreo hybrid ink onto X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copic markers.  Once colored, I added a ground line using a 0.3 black Multiliner then adhered the panel to a striped background paper using an X-Press It Double-sided Tape Runner.

Copic markers – B18, E000, E00, E01, G05, G09, G28, R20, R27, R56, R59, Y19, YR23, 0.3 black Multiliner

Compared to other popular tape runners, X-Press It’s is a great buy (about 5¢ less per foot). It’s extra strong, permanent, acid and solvent free as well as heat resistant. My favorite quality though – it won’t “gum up.” You can count on a smooth application every time. I’ll definitely be adding a few of these to my next Copic order!

Thanks so much for visiting today!
