Curtain call Act 46- Maybe a close call!

Good morning all, hope you are enjoying your saturday morning!!  I am going to quickly post so that I can hopefully make the deadline for the Curtain Call Challenge #46  this week!!  I have left it until the last minute in the hope that the SU fairy would arrive with my new papers and inks but unfortunately she got sick *sad face* .  So again this week I needed to substitute the colours.  I was a bit disappointed not to be able to use the exact colours, which are absolutely stunning, but the stamping must go on!!

The ribbon has been coloured with the RV00 copic marker and I have used the same to airbrush around the Gladdies.

The Recipe:

Cardstock: Xpress-it blending cardstock, Real red, pink pirouette

Stamps: Year of flowers: Gladiolus, Butterfly dreams (PTI)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Copics: YR 16, YR14, YR00, R24, RV00, YG63, YG67

Accessories: Airbrush & Compressor (yes again!!), White Silk ribbon (PTI), Button, Crafters cutting tool, spica pen.

Curtain Call #45- All good things must come to an end!!

Welcome back for another Curtain Call Colour Challenge, this week act 45 brings along a fabulous colour palette!! Again,  unfortunately here is Australia we don't have all the colours yet, this week I have subsituted Elegant Eggplant and Wild Wasabi.

This week is the changing of the guards, so to speak, at Curtain Call!  The current Design Crew's final week, moving out for a new dynamic Design Crew and guest designer next week, including some very familiar names to wow you with their creativity moving forward!

I must say that the last 6 months have been very exciting for me (occasionally challenging!) , to be a part of something totally wonderful.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Design Crew, to work with and be inspired by some very talented ladies.  Without this opportunity I would not have met you all, not to mention finding Miss Chupa in my own backyard, it really goes to show how small the world is.  I will still be popping into see what you are all up to, I wish you well for the future, may your worlds grow bigger too!!

Stacey, The Design Crew, the guest Designers and all of you who have contributed to Curtain Call each week, I sincerely THANK YOU. 

Congratulations to the new Design Crew, a fabulous and very inspiring group, I can't wait to see them in action on the Stage!

anyhoo, back to the task at hand- Act #45

Anyhoo, without further ado!  Act #40 brings Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White and Basic Black, another fresh and fun combo from Stacey!  When I originally looked at the colours and the picture I was thinking of a beach theme, but alas my initial thoughts and the final creation look totally different!!
