Curtain Call Color Challenge: {ACT 40}

I couldn't resist the fun and lively color inspiration from this stack of Ikea kitchen towels posted on the What's For Lunch Honey blog. The photographer, Meeta, on this inspirational blog is one talented gal! The Tempting Turquoise, Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, Basic Black & Whisper White was perfect to ink up the new Funky Four stamp set! Can't wait to see what you all come up with this week!

To participate in the Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 40...

1. Create a papercrafted (card, scrapbook page, or 3D) project using these colors or similar shades.
2. Post it on your blog or other public gallery (Splitcoaststampers, Paper Craft Planet, Stampin' Addicts, etc.) using the keywords Curtain Call 40 and make sure to include a link back here to the challenge.
3. Enter your name and the direct link to your project in the Mr. Linky box below.

Please note the deadline will be Friday night. You have until Friday, July 30th before midnight (CST) to enter your Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 40 project.
