Clown with Balloons (new die)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Tuesday edition of the Blog. 

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store. It's our Circus release with 16 new designs. They are currently on sale at 25% off individual dies. If you purchase the entire bundle you can save 60% off. 

Our Safari dies are also on sale at 25% off individual dies. 

Today for your viewing pleasure I am featuring the new Clown with Balloons die. I created a card with some non-traditional colors for Valentine's Day. This one will go to a little 5 year old boy so the colors are good for him. It's another way to get more use out of your dies by using them for other occasions. 

I started my card with the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #825. The colors selected are gorgeous grape, granny apple green and coastal cabana. 

I cut the clown image in the challenge colors. I found some heart paper in my collection and used it for the backdrop for the clown. Framed it with a gorgeous grape wide rectangle frame. 

The "be my valentine" phrase is from an older die - Be My Valentine Puppies. I finished off my card by adding a few hearts cut in gorgeous grape cardstock and added to the background paper. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. See you again on Saturday with another card from this new release.
