What a wonderful mix of colours Stacey chose for this week's Curtain Call Colour Challenge! It's so much fun finding new colour combinations to use, especially ones I don't naturally gravitate towards. Made my day to have to use Kraft again (even though it isn't the dominant colour in this card) as it is becoming my newest addiction :D Hey, at least it is a change from Swiss Dots LOL! 
Speaking about new addictions, I'm having a hard time putting down the fabulous All About You set by Stampin' Up!. Didn't hurt that it was still out on my desk just tempting me to use it again LOL! Amy Ramsey's sketch from last week provided the perfect oval for the flower image so I was set to go create :D I used my Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder to give the white panel some texture and stamped some Itty Bitty Backgrounds on the Rose Red panels for a little something. White ribbon and some silver brads made a nice, visual, diagonal line and I finished things off by stamping the "for you" sentiment in the oval as there was too much white space there for my liking. I'm loving this colour combo and will definitely use it again - thanks Stacey! The rest of the Curtain Call Crew have some wonderful samples for your inspiration.

Great card Marisa and the colors really do look good together. I like the white space and I think it really makes the colors pop. PS: I am also a kraft addict.

WOW, Marisa, these colors look great with this fabulous layout. Thanks for joining Speedy's Friends this week on our first challenge. Hope you join in again next w!!
This week's sermon was another great one! It was all about thriving in "Babylon" and not just surviving. Read Daniel 1 really quickly before watching. It will help. I got that little tip yesterday from them (I'm a CCV fan on facebook, hehe) and it definitely helped.
Gorgeous Marisa!! What a wonderful job you've done with the sketch and the colour combo! Your popped up flowers are fantastic and love the small, sweet sentiment!!
Wowee! Love those colors =) The dimension is lovely and all of your details are perfect as usual! Amy Rysavy always has some great sketches and you've rocked this one.
Thanks for entering this fabulous card!! Be sure and come back now ya hear... LOL
Oooh, LOVE this!

Another great addition, Marisa! So clean and sweet!
Fantastic job with those colours Marisa and you always do such nice work with your cuttlebug. I haven't forgotten about your parcel...life has just gotten a little crazy in the last week and a bit. I'll have it in the mail by Monday.
Such a beautiful take on the color and sketch challenges. Love the popped flowers and how the one comes out of the 'box'.
