Final Curtain Call Crew Post

Boo hoo!  So sad!  My six month term with the Stacey's Curtain Call Crew is done with this submission.  It has been a blast and a great experience!  Thank you Stacey for the opportunity!  Being on a DT was always something I was curious to do but never pursued, so I am especially grateful to Stacey for asking me.  Thanks to all the girls in the Crew and the guest designers these past few months.  A really great group.  I received a lot of help (and friendship) from the Crew members.

So, what about this week's colors?

Pretty....no surprise there.  Now I am STILL waiting on my In-Colors.  I am expecting them next week, so I had to use Certainly Celery and Elegant Eggplant.  Green is probably my favorite color, so I decided to play down the Crumb Cake (gasp!) and create a card focusing on the green.  I love the result.  This is my Mom's birthday card.  I gave it to her today and she loved it.

I used a button from my EXTENSIVE stash for the flower center.  It's iridescent and it's so yummy!  I had another button in mind.  A vintage carnival glass beauty...I couldn't do it.  I'm hoarding those!  But I'll give you a peek at it!

Please check out the rest of the Crew members this week!  Send them off right!  Also, check out the new Curtain Call Crew over at Stacey's blog!  You will be blown away with the talented stampers she's got together for the next round!

Water Color Trio - Curtain Call #39

I love GREEN....every color of green.  So this week's challenge really wasn't much of a challenge for me!  Look at these colors!  Great choice Stacey!

Being the frugal gal I am, the first place I go when starting a new card is my scrap file.  It isn't too large, because I am always using them.  Since I love green so much, the scraps were pretty slim.  In my neutral pile along with the Kraft/Crumb Cake was a piece of vellum.  That got me thinking about embossing the vellum.  I had done it before, with mixed results.  I wondered what it would look like with the new Square Tile Embossing Folder.  That's what this entire card is built around.

Now I have to mention.  I just got my Watercolor Trio.  I owe it all to Silke.  She has used this set so beautifully I just had to buy it!  After just one use, I am so glad I did!  It's wonderful!  The sentiments are so elegant and the bonus?  They all fit inside the large oval punch!  I didn't use it with this card, but I was curious and sure enough, they fit!

So, how about the rest of the Crew?  What will they create?
