Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 19

This Curtain Call Color Challenge will remain at the top of the page through the week. To see new postings, please scroll down.



This polaroid shot of Susannah Tucker's was a fabulous inspiration for me this week, and I hope you will love it, too! Go check out Susannah's creative photography for yourself at Susannah Tucker...a photo blog. The colors of the butterflies and cage inspired me to use Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue & Very Vanilla...love the soft cream, pink and blue with that contrasting berry!

For You



I sponged the edges of each layer on my card today...wanted to give it a soft/vintage look. The Bashful Blue card base is layered with Pink Pirouette & Candy Lane DSP, then wrapped with Very Vanilla Satin ribbon. The button was attached to the bow with a piece of Linen Thread. For the main panel, a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock was stamped with Fine Flourish and the greeting, punched with the Scallop Edge punch, and finally finished up with a hand-cut Rich Razzleberry stamped butterfly from the Great Friend stamp set...and yes, the pearl accents are from the Pretties Kit. Hope you'll join me for this week's color challenge!

May Stamp Club Sneak Peeks

Here's a little sneak peek into tonight's stamp club projects. Check back tomorrow to see the full-sized photos!

Great Friend

I made this card for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #14 and for Julie's Great Friend Card Contest.



Hmmm, after I posted this card, I realized that the sketch is a square card...oops! I may have to try my hand at this sketch again with a different color combination. The Walk in the Park DSP and Great Friend stamp set (both from the Occasions Mini catalog) are such a dynamic duo, and you gotta love those new Jumbo Grommets.

Stamps: Great Friend
Paper: Regal Rose, Basic Gray, Whisper White CS, Walk in the Park DSP
Ink: Basic Gray, Baja Breeze
Other: Jumbo Grommets, 1/2" Circle Punch, Stamp-a-majig, Pretties Kit, Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain, Eyelet Border Punch

Great Friend ~ Chalkboard Technique

My stamp club gals made this card tonight using the Chalkboard technique. To get this amazing color stamped on Basic Black cardstock, you stamp your solid image in Whisper White and then apply Stampin' Pastels with a sponge dauber. It's definately an easy "wow" technique with just a few basic supplies.



The Great Friend stamp set is available in the Occasions Mini. It is beautiful set with lots of versatility...love it! To see the whole set, click on the Occasions Mini button in my left sidebar.

Stamps: Great Friend (Occasions Mini)
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery
