Hello everyone! It’s Giada here today with a sort of “snarky” card. Well, my first idea was to create an Halloween card with the mini clown digi and inspired by horror movies (which I don’t like at all).

While I was coloring it, a different idea came out and I kept on drawing and coloring without any plan.

As you can see, while I was coloring the clown with promarker pens, I decided to trace some lines and draw different stars all around the stamp. At this point the atmosphere shifted from “Halloween” to “Circus” and I ended up using mainly a color palette made of red, yellow and blue.

In any case, I love the final result: the sentiment says “smile, cheese” in Italian, a funny one if you consider the face of the clown! I also found helpful using the image on the site as a reference while a was coloring, especially for lights and shadows.

As final touches, I added some highlights with a white gel pen.

Look at this face, it makes me laugh!
