Life's A Circus Wagon!


Hiya Bo Bunny Fans Tracee with you today on Off The Page Wednesday!

Life Is A Circus by Tracee Provis

I fell in love with the fun animals in the Carnival Collection coupled with my love of making balloon ornaments, I created this Circus Wagon being pulled along by a giraffe. I incorporated some of the new dies and stencils both on the balloon and the Wagon. The Wagon also holds a little surprise that will be revealed on a later date.

I used the Elegant border die and the 3 x 4 Lattice Frame die to add details along the front and the top of the Wagon, the fine details in the dies add a delicate and almost magical touch to the project.

I cut out some circles of Cardstock and added some buttons from the same Carnival Collection to create some wheels on the Wagon.

I used the Aqua Double dot Alphabet, to spell out a title, in the frame on the front of my project.

I simply adhered the large giraffe, from the Noteworthy pack, to some corrugated cardboard and glued that to a base of the same cardboard covered with patterned paper, I added a leash for him to pull the Wagon along.

Here you can also see where I used the cascade stencil and some Bronze Glitter paste to the bottom half of the balloon form. As they are peelable they are great for sticking to curvy surfaces.

For the main balloon for I used strips of paper from the 6 x 6 to cover it I cut the film strip piece out of the Carnival sheet and used it as a centre piece on the balloon, the bunting was added by cutting small triangles and attaching them to some string.

I cut the smaller animals from various sheets in the collection and popped them onto the top of the wagon... "How cute do they look?".

Finally to the top added a fussy cut masquerade mask and a banner piece from the Button pack. It adds that final theatrical touch to my fun circus themed project.

I hope you enjoyed it and are inspired to create your own projects using this fun BoBunny Carnival Collection.
