Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 42

Hi everyone! Here's another attempt at catching up with all of the challenges I've missed last week. Curtain Call has an new color challenge this week. When I saw the color combination I was a little worried. I'm not very good with using orange. But after looking through my stash of patterned paper everything just fell into place. I haven't used my SU 5th Ave. Florals in a while. I thought it would be perfect for this color combination. I colored it using colored pencils and then balanced it out using odorless paint thinner and a shading stub.


I really wanted to use swirls comprised of pearls. I don't have any of those ready made ones from Making Memories. I actually stamped the swirl and covered it with pearls. I did it ONE BY ONE. It took a while as you can imagine. But it looks like it paid off in the end. I can't begin to tell you how tedious it was. Lesson learned...next time, buy the ready made swirly pearls. :P


Anyway, here's my submission for this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 42.

Cardstock - vintage cream (PTI), brown (Paper Company)

Patterned Paper - garden variety (Cosmo Cricket), sweet pear dots (BoBunny)
