Curtain Call Act 64 - Guest Designer

Hello!  I've been itching to post this card, but I've had to wait until the start of the Curtain Call Color Challenge {Act 64}.  It's the first time I've played with this Sugar Nellie stamp and I'm thrilled with how it turned out... I hope you think so too! 


I watercoloured the image using the challenge colours (except white), and I just love how the Marina Mist blended into the Pacific Point for the sky...


And, as you can see, I black embossed the image onto watercolour paper.  It makes it so much easier to colour and I really like the look too.


Here are the challenge colours for Curtain Call Color Challenge {Act 64}.

The Curtain Call Crew have samples to show you today, too, so make sure you stop by to see:



and January Guest Designer, ME!

…then play along with us and post your Curtain Call Color Challenge creation using Mr. Linky back at Stacey's Stamping Stage.

I'm also entering my card into the challenge at The Sugar Bowl:

  16. I love this card Danille! You did a great job! I love the Black Embossing. I will have to try that. It's looks like it's about to pop out of my computer screen. Like the 3D effect of it.

    You know I'm one of your #1 fan right? :-)
