The Fair scene I've created with the Ferris Wheel, Elephants & Big Top continues on the inside of the card as well.
Used Recollections Chevrons cardstock as base of card. Used Martha Stewart score board & bone folder to score lines to frame the Ferris Wheel.
Stamped "Fair" on pennants/banners. Used twine for embellishment. Stamped the Ferris Wheel on vellum. Used 2 small silver brads to hold the vellum stamped Ferris Wheel in place. Used Carousel Cricut Lite cartridge for Elephants on front of card. Welded 2 Elephants together using Gypsy. Used 2 plastic Elephants for a count of 4 Elephants since this is a Happy 4th Birthday card. Stamped "Happy 4th Birthday" directly on Chevron cardstock. Hardest part was stamping the "4th" which I had to do individually because if placed on stamping block at one time the characters were spaced apart too much and could not be moved closer together. Stamped Elephants for inside on vellum. Stamped Big Top Tent & more sentiments " May all your wishes come true" "Under the Big Top" on inside. Added red gems to inside.
