Curtain Call - Act 43 and the Dreaded Pacific Point...


Hello and Happy Sunday!

Here's a fabulous, bright, cheery color combo for you courtesy of Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge.  I love these colors - except for the Pacific Point.  *sigh*  I am really trying to {embrace} this color... I even bought the new Blueberry Crisp DSP from the new SU! catalog to help me with the process. 


I was trying to get a couple of cards done at the same time and needed a quick, simple sketch for this card and found a good one over at Taylor's Sketch Challenge.  I altered it a little and made a regular sized card instead of a long, skinny one like the sketch:




Recipe - Stamp: Cherry Blossoms (Flourishes)  Paper: Pacific Point, Whisper White, SU! DSP, unknown DSP  Ink: Pacific Point  Accessories: TCP CutUps Die (Flower Buttons), buttons, paper piercer, hemp twine, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, die cut tag, EK Success border punch

The rest of the Curtain Call Crew has samples to show you today, too, so make sure you stop by to see:



and our fabulous Guest Designer for August...Teresa Kline at Enjoy the VA Sunshine.

...then play along with us and post your Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 43 creation using Mr. Linky back over at Stacey's Stamping Stage.

I can't wait to see what y'all do with these colors - especially the Pacific Point.  *wink*  Have fun!

Wow you totally rocked these colours Melissa! Loving the combination of DSP you used with those punched shapes - and that scalloped border really finishes the whole thing off perfectly!

A beautiful card, despite the aversion to the pacific point. It's not my favorite color. *gggg*
