Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 9



I chose to use this kitchen display from the Country Living website for the Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 9 inspiration. After moving to the country this summer, I have been thinking of changing my home decor from a traditional style to more of an English country style. This pretty fresh bouquet really struck me today with the pop of pink, yellow and red...so fresh! The colors from the photograph are similar to Stampin' Up!'s Pink Passion, Crushed Curry, Real Red, Basic Black and Whisper White.

To play along in the Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 9, simply create a papercrafted project using these Stampin' Up! colors (or similar shades from other companies), post it on your blog or other public gallery (Splitcoaststampers, Paper Craft Planet, etc.) using the keywords Curtain Call,link your posting back here, and then come back to enter your name and URL in the Mr. Linky box. You have until Sunday, November 9th at noon (CST) to enter your project.

I will once again be picking my FAVORITE(s) Curtain Call Color Challenge submission(s) that will be announced as the Curtain Call Show Stopper at the end of the week!



Those who are chosen as Show Stoppers will receive this award to post on their blog and share the exciting news! I will be picking more than one Show Stopper each week depending on the number of entries there are. There will be one award given out for every ten Curtain Call Color Challenge entries!



I was inspired from the colors above to make this card. I saw a quilted card called "Getting Quilty" on Dawn McVey's blog that really caught my eye, so I based my layout from it (obviously without the stitching). One of these days, I hope to find the courage to dust off the sewing machine...





Stamps: On Your Birthday
Paper: Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Whisper White CS, Assorted DSP
Ink: Black Stazon
Other: Real Red 5/8" Grosgrain, Corner Rounder, Playground Buttons, Linen Thread

Here's my inspired card...Happy Halloween!



This may be the last time (until next Fall) I use this adorable stamp set, Twick or Tweet, from the Holiday Mini. How stinkin' cute is this skeleton and mutt pair? I stamped the image with Black Stazon on Whisper White cardstock and colored the doggie in with Pumpkin Pie. I mounted the image on a larger piece of Pumpkin Pie and then adhered it over a strip of Night & Day DSP (also from the Holiday Mini) with a hint of a Basic Black scalloped edge. The card base is also Pumpkin Pie and wrapped around with Basic Black 5/8" Grosgrain tied into a centered square knot.





Stamps: Twick or Tweet
