SSSC 53 & Curtain call: Act 14

A quick post for today! Not sure where my mojo has gone, but am in need of some serious help!! I have been using some challenges for inspiration, which pushes me to use colours and layouts that I normally wouldnt use. This creation is made using the SSSC #53 and Stacey colour challenge - curtain call : Act 14. Orchid Opulence is not a colour that I use very often , but I must say that it is certainly growing on me. hope you enjoy my creation.............

The recipe: (all SU unless stated)

Stamps: On your birthday and blooming with happiness (always a good fallback)

Ink: Stazon black

Markers: Bashful blue, Orchid Opulence and almost amethyst

cardstock: Bashful blue, orchid opulence and almost amethyst

paper: SU whisper white, basic black and tempting turquoise
