Side Show Ballyhoo Stage

This month's theme at Alpha Stamps is "Join the Circus". I've been a little cheeky with the miniature trunk parts that were sent to me and created some Side Show Ballyhoo platforms instead.

Let's be serious, how could I resist making something called a 'Ballyhoo'?!

Side Show Ballyhoo with Tutorial - Nichola Battilana

ballyhoo: bal-ee-hoo 
1. a noisy, confused, or nonsensical situation or uproar
2. sensational or blatant advertising or publicity
3. to advertise or publicize by sensational or blatant methods

Not only are these pretty dang adorable, but they were fairly easy to make too.
