I just love the colours Stacey picked this week! They are fabulous together and this will definitely be a combination I use again - thanks, Stacey :D When I saw the large oval in Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this week, I knew it was the perfect sketch for this week's Curtain Call because when I see large ovals like this, I immediately think of Stampin' Up's For All You Do set. I just love this set! It fits perfectly in ovals and basically makes your card for you :D
This is a pretty straight forward card as my mojo is in sleep mode after not being used too much for the past three weeks! However, I was thrilled to be able to use some of my favorite goodies when making this card: my beloved Swiss Dots embossing folder (sigh....), SU's new border punch, Nesties (how did I ever survive without them?!) and my favorite embellishment, ribbon. What more can a girl ask for :D The rest of the Curtain Call Crew have some samples for your inspiration and over the summer we will be having a new guest designer every month!
