The wonderful Julee Tillman from Verve Stamps sponsored the first Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge with the awesome Strong Anchor set. However, I was away on holiday when the goodies arrived and so had already made my card. Now I’m home I wanted to break open the packet straight away LOL. So here’s another take on the current Curtain Call :) The inspiration photo has so many possible options.

I picked out the dominant colours of navy and yellow and add just a dash of the green foliage by using the perfectly matched Kate & Co Oxford Lane paper pad from My Mind’s Eye. To the backdrop of paper banners I added a stamped and die cut ships wheel image in Hero Arts Cup O’ Joe and then onto a die cut circle the rope frame in Soft Brown and the sentiment in Navy. I must say I’m very impressed with my first experience of Verve Stamps and dies!

Are you playing along with the Curtain Call? I hope so :)
