Act 26 - A Little Bit Retro...

Happy Sunday!!!

It's time for another Curtain Call but I thought I'd give you a quick update on my whereabouts.  Today we are in Florence, Italy - Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Signorina, Chiesa di Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, Gates of Paradise, Giotto's Bell Tower and Dante's house are on the schedule for today capped off with an Italian pizza dinner...yummers!  We've been in London and Paris over the last week and I can't wait to get home and share my experience with you all.  :)

Enough about me - we've got a Curtain Call to do!  Here are the colors for this week:
 

Don't you just LOVE THEM??  The inspiration pic took me back to the 70's...isn't it great?  I discovered I don't have any Going Gray cardstock so I had to use something that was *close.*  I'm not going to order any either since it's not one of the colors sticking around...*sniff*  I have mixed feelings about the whole Stampin' Up! color renovation ~ change is good, right? 

I didn't have much time to put this card together so it is VERY simple (at least for me)!  One stamp, some punching, some embossing and that's about it...



Stamps: Vintage Labels  Paper: Crushed Curry, Basic Gray, Whisper White, light gray CS  Ink: Basic Gray  Accessories: Nestabilities (Labels Eleven), oval punch, paper piercer, Basic Gray satin ribbon, adhesive pearls, scallop edge border punch, button, silver cord, paisley embossing folder, Sizzix Perfect Polka Dots EF 

Don't forget to stop and see what the rest of the Curtain Call Crew have created with these fabulous colors:



See you tomorrow for another Shabby Tea Room challenge!

Based on all you had to get done before your vacation, you have done a fabulous job with this card. Love the BG EF you used and the half pearls along the scallops at the bottom. Looking forward to hearing all about your vacation and seeing a few pics too :D
