Curtain Call - Inspiration Challenge

Hello friends.

I heard Unity Stamp Co is sponsoring the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge... so I had a little time today to play and support it.

The challenge is about making a project inspired in a photo/image.  Here's the photo:

When I saw it I thought "white", gray, wood, clear and see thru... and CAS style.   And I really had lots of ideas in my mind but I went with this one... check it out.

I stamped Unity's hexagons in vellum using pigment ink... Yes... pigment... but then applied clear embossing powder and heated...  Loved the effect.  Did the same with the sentiment.

At first I was going to place the vellum directly in the white base of the card but then I took another look to the inspiration image and I felt some gray...  So I joined a gray cardstock to the vellum with some eyelets and then placed with 3D adhesive to the white card.

Kind of imperfect... just the way I like it.

But then I felt I needed to make another project... It had to be quick 'cause I've got to go to do some other chores... LOL...  So this is a mini card using a wood background stamp with silver ink, and then a sentiment in black (both stamps from Unity).  

Tks for your visit...  You can also follow me in facebook. Look for me as Scrapper Myra.

All White CAS

It's Sunday, and as simple as it sounds, I haven't done half of what I planed.  Just household stuff, some diligences on the internet, and little things... but all has got complicated a bit...  No big issue... I leave it to God... I just went with the flow of the day.

And my friends at Outlawz posted a CAS challenge that I found quite interesting.  All White.  Yes... All white... You could color stamped images or sentiments but all cardstock and embellishments must be white.

I was exposed to "all white" idea recently.. when making my anniversary card. Remember?  But it was because of the crystal theme.  They kind of mentioned to be inspired by snow for this challenge.  When I read "white" I thought of purity, simplicity, honesty...  gratefulness...  so I went for a Thank You card.

I embossed the background and added a punched border for different textures.  The circle simulating a flower was made with a strip, scoring multiple times and then shaping it into the circle.  I made a similar one for my 15th Anniversary card I just mentioned.   Have you seen it?  Come on!  You can take a look HERE.

Then with the stamped leaves, I tried first to use them in a different way.  I just wanted to be as white as possible so I cut them thinking they'd look nice with the shape but no lines, using the other side... but did not like it... so I just left them with the black lines from the stamping, but no coloring.  (I bet if colored green they'd look nice too).

I really hope you liked this card and the challenge.  Have a white Sunday!  Thanks for your comments.
