Hello, folks! Are you ready for a new color challenge? I thought so! This week's Curtain Call Color Challenge is up, and it's a rich combo that would be perfect for a last minute holiday card but would also work beautifully for many other occasions. I don't need any more Christmas cards myself, so I decided to look forward to Valentine's Day and make a sophisticated, love-themed card. Here are the colors we're working with this week:
I used WPlus9's Poinsettia Patterns to stamp the background in Bravo Burgundy. I just received PTI's Mat Stack #1 Collection, so I had to break it in! I stamped one of the labels onto kraft cardstock and added an Early Espresso mat. I die cut a Vintage Cream circle and stamped another image and a sentiment from Poinsettia Patterns.
At first I wasn't happy with the symmetry of this design, and I experimented with a few different embellishments in the bottom corner, but nothing worked with the stamped background so I opted to leave it as is.
The Curtain Call Crew has samples to show you today, too, so make sure you stop by to see:
