** This is my second post of the day. Please scroll down for my Mojo Monday Card **
Today is the big day!! The Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge is up and running with its first challenge entitled Feeling Nautical. Loved the inspiration collage Stacey has put together for this challenge!
In addition, Verve Stamps is sponsoring our very first challenge!! That means the participant who is awarded "The Lead" for our Feeling Nautical challenge will win Verve's Strong Anchor and matching Nautical Die set! You all know how much I love my Verve so this is a double scoop of happiness day for me :)
For my card, I honed in on the blue and yellow colour combo (love navy and yellow together!) and the anchor and wheel images. Nautical often makes me think of the Navy so I went with a crisp, clean, feel as well.
Since Verve is sponsoring this challenge, I just had to use one of the VLV sketches from their Forum on SCS. I created the backgrounds on the kraft and saffron panels by VersaMarking the images, and crimped the navy panel for some texture. Matching die cuts from the anchor and wheel images were added around the focal sentiment and I tied a red, twine bow around my anchor for a pop of colour and bit of interest. This card was so fun to make, I may just have to make another!You can check out all the challenge details over on the Curtain Call Inspirations Challenge and also get a chance to view all the wonderful Curtain Call Crew samples!
