Scrappy Boy Stamps - Curve Appeal

Hi friends!  I hope your week is off to a great start!  I have something super fun to share with you!  My friends, Kim (@canterburycarddesigns) and I decided to challenge each other to create something and then share the results.  Hopefully, this will be a regular thing, as I had a ton of fun!  For this week, we decided to use a sketch to create a card. 

I found a fabulous Mojo Monday sketch on Pinterest, and we both liked it, so we decided to have a go.  I have been dying to use the Curve Appeal stamp set from Scrappy Boy Stamps and thought this would be the perfect opportunity!  

I chose my color palette based on the amazing paper pack that coordinates with the stamp set, so I started with a black card base, and I die-cut two panels (one from Stampin' Up Blackberry Bliss card stock and one from the patterned paper pack using the Elizabeth Craft Stitched Indented Rectangles Dies.  I also cut a stitched circle out using the new C. C. Designs Circle Dies.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE these dies?  I have used them several times recently and they do NOT disappoint!  And PS - if you purchase them from Artful Angel, use coupon code KIMSIMPSON to save 10%!)

I colored this beauty and the cute top hat with my alcohol markers (colors listed below) and added some sparkly details using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  I fussy cut the images out (I was too lazy to get my Scan n' Cut out) and started to put my card together. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in black and layered a few strips and added the hat.  I decided that I would add a Tammy Wilson (@stamppaperscissors) style bow that matches the beautiful blackberry card stock and then popped my diva up on foam squares.
