Welcome back for another installment of Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge - this week's colors are super calm and soothing:

I could have gone "boy" but instead decided to go with sympathy.  I still don't have any Marina Mist so I dug out some old Blue Bayou as a substitute.  I think it is a bit dark but it's all I had...

I am always in awe of those crafty ladies out there who can do CAS soooooo well - you know who you are...  :) - so I thought I'd give it a shot this week.  I've noticed that many of *them* use the sketches over at clean&simple stamping so that's where I went first and found this beauty:


I KNOW I didn't do it as CAS as some might but old habits die heard, YK? 

Recipe - Stamps: Forever in Our Hearts (Verve)  Ink: Blue Bayou  Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Blue Bayou, SU! DSP, Kraft  Accessories: Manhattan Flower embossing folder, Blue Bayou stitched ribbon, button, twine, Parisian border punch, paper piercer
