Are You Ready For Act 22?


Hello crafty peeps!  It's time for Act 22 over at the Curtain Call!  Prepare yourselves for a *bold* color combination from Stacey this week. 


I had a VERY hard time with these colors and even contemplated making another card because I wasn't totally pleased with this one.  Available time (or lack thereof) won out over my negative self-talk and this is what I was able to come up with:



Recipe - Stamps: LOVEbeetle Huggabugg (Stamping Bella Ink: Versafie Onyx Black, Pink Passion  Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Pink Passion, Yo-Yo Yellow  Accessories: Embossing Folders (Argyle, Paisley, Spots and Dots), Pinking Circles Nesties, hodgepodge hardware, black satin ribbon, button, hemp twine, paper piercer, Copics, adhesive pearls

I love this little stamp - in fact I love all of these little Huggabuggs!  She doesn't see ink nearly as much as she should but when I saw the Yo-Yo Yellow and put it together with my little bug...well, that's my "classic" Volkswagon Beetle...bright yellow!  Don't ask me why!!??

Now you've seen what I came up with - - - be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the Curtain Call Crew did with these bold, bright colors:
