A Little Playing


(click here for Curtain Call {Act 48})
I wanted to share this card with you!  Don't you just love it when you are THRILLED with the end result of a card?  This is the way I feel about this one.  I completely love the JUGS 51 color challenge - green and red just do it for me, then add in black and white - 0H YEAH I'm in heaven!  THEN, I found a new [to me] sketch website Stamping 411- is this a fabulous sketch or what!  Topped off with a beautiful saying (and font) from Verve (One Person) - yep - completely THRILLED with this card.  I just wanted you all to share in my happiness ---   LOL - I get so excited over successful cards.  I sure hope you like it as much as I do!  Thanks for stopping in~~

Very elegant, Vicki. I always think black, white and red is classy, but the addition of olive works perfectly too.
