I have had a stupidly productive Sunday and have a few projects and posts to show you today
Firstly if you remember HERE - i started my 6x6 'ME Board' where i wanted a collection of boards reflecting all aspects of my personality... the first one representing me pretty well! lol
Well today I have another to show you - this one being SO much fun to make and look at - it also has some real funky details which ill go into, but first, here is my second ME board - something i have always been - The Class Clown!

So, where do I start?!
I used an utterly new colouring style for this lovely Magnola stamp = Tilda dressed as clown. Im very much new to colouring, i tend to blend shades of the same colurs, but on this one i specifically wanted to blend some different colours into eachother, as you can see ive gone from blue, into a green into yellow - im so pleased with how this turned out! im sl glad I was brave enough to give it a go - i must be braver in future :)
There is a special little trick to this board, which the camera unfortunately wont pick up, - My fun little clown does a dance! the images is attached via a small spring so when you move the board, the image wiggles around a little - its much fun to watch (simple things!)
The flowers also add some fab dimension and are all from The Ribbon Girl, the ribbon being from my local craft store, very colourful and glitters, however i couldn't decide which colour to use, so i ended up braiding three - turned out quite good considering i just couldn't decide lol
The background was a piece of card i picked up at my local store ages ago and always found it was too bright and offensive to use - until now! I cut the letters (the 'L' is meant to be backwards) using my portrait and coloured with my markers and stickled it to within an inch of their life!
I used some ranger inks to distress the frame (also cut on portrait) and add some more colour to my little clown friend
I love this board, it really reflects me, mainly back in my school days where i was always the class clown, loved attention and making people laugh - a trait i got from my dad and im very proud of :)
Here are some more pictures - im going to enter this into the Dreamtime Designs DT call - and also have a go at the lovely blog candy! Blog candy - it was made with this challenge in mind but ill also, of course, have a go at the challenges below
