Kuzcooooo!

Boom, baby!

I made this card for my friend Krissy's birthday, because she loves Emperor's New Groove as much as I do and how fun is that Kuzco stamp!  I stamped Boom, Baby! tone-on-tone on the Pineapple Punch square, and I'll put a birthday sentiment on the inside.  I started this card yesterday when I happened to be wearing an Yzma shirt : )

Lucky for me, the current color challenge at Cupcake Inspirations has the perfect Kuzco color palette:

I chose Tahitian Tide, Poppy Parade, and the retired Pineapple Punch for my colors.

And I used the Paper Players sketch:

I rarely buy ribbon anymore because I just don't use it very often, and upon diving into my ribbon stash (which is still large enough to be spread over three photo boxes), I discovered I didn't have any ribbon in the colors I used from the color challenge above, so I settled for a black 3/8" taffeta.  That's my favorite ribbon that SU! has ever come out with, and I still have it in probably twenty colors.

I'm off to either work on my to-do list or take a nap.  It's a toss-up.  Boom, baby!
