Curtain Call & Sunday Stamps Challenges



The new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge has a Hibiscus theme going on, so I also went with the colors from the current Sunday Stamps color challenge for my card. I knew I wanted to use Verve's Hibiscus Plain Jane stamp along with more florals from their Happy Days stamp set.  I colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped with foam tape over a watercolored base using Mijello Mission Gold paint.  I'm again using my new favorite sentiment set from Reverse Confetti (Sentiment Essentials).  Initially, I placed the rounded rectangle panel over a white background which just looked too blah.  I then switched to using this black and white patterned paper by Recollections and thought it had so much more pizazz!

CASEing Jennifer




I couldn't wait to play with some new dies that arrived this week!  Jennifer McGuire posted a video HERE using Altenew's Layered Floral Cover Dies A and B and I was sold!  There are so many options with these dies!  I'm joining in a new challenge - Always Fun Challenges - and their #1 challenge is the theme "Anything Goes".  I also used the new CAS(E) This Sketch layout.

I used three different shades of pink and
green cardstock to get the variant shading I wanted. The sentiment is from Altenew's Super Script stamp set.  Inside, I stamped "Happy Birthday from their Painted Greetings set. I'm needing lots of birthday cards this month, so it was a no brainer as to what sentiment to use.  So glad you stopped by...I love getting feedback!
