Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge



The Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge is raising it's final curtain today.
I was on the inaugural team from it's start July 2013 until November 2015.
The alumni members were invited to join in this final challenge that has been a fan favourite for 4 1/2 years now.




Of course I was inspired by the pine needles and pine cones and of course it's proximity to Christmas. I pulled out an old Papertrey Ink favourite, Peaceful Pinecones, and created a one layer card by masking part of the stamp so that I could create the bough in two colours. The sentiment was embossed in gold, then I added a thin strip of gold sparkle paper to the bottom of the card front and finally added a few gold filled Stickle sequins.




Hope you get a chance to play along for the final curtain call!
