Curtain Call: A Reminder of Great Prizes

I wanted to get another card in to remind you of the great prizes available for the first anniversary challenge at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.  There are fifteen prizes available!!  The challenge is open until the 25th at 8 a.m. CDT and winners will be announced on July 31st.


My second card looks quite a bit like my first card for this challenge - you can tell that I was inspired by the "squares" and the colors.

Congrats

I love the look of fading colors with stencils.  I was thrilled when I saw this checkerboard stencil in my collection.  Then I was noticing the swirly word dies from Clearly Besotted Stamps and thought the curves and swirls would be a nice counterpoint to the squares on the checkerboard. I actually ordered this word die (and four other words) a few weeks ago just for this challenge!  This didn't start out as a baby card; rather I wanted to congratulate Curtain Call on their first year.  When I realized that it just had to be a baby card, I added three tiny buttons and the border stitching.

Be sure to check out this challenge.  It's not often that a challenge offers fifteen prizes!  Then be sure to continue to play along.  As part of the design team, I've seen the upcoming sponsors and you definitely want to be playing along!

  6. Love this, Kim. Love how you inked up the stencils. Somehow the background you created makes the buttons look like they are floating up off the card...awesome.

  11. This is so pretty and love the curly word with the stencil. The colours look so beautiful blending together. I've only used my stencil once, its a bit scary to me but maybe if I practice enough it will look half as good as yours!!
