COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

So this week's Coloring Down the Lines featured color is Gumball Green. Add in Midnight Muse & Marina Mist & ya got one of my favorite color combos!!! Didn't know that before this challenge tho! That's why I love these challenges so much-gets the creative juices flowing!!!

So welcome over those who "hopped" here from Helen's blog!!! Glad you could make it! I bet you love her card this week!!! I do!!!

So here's what I came up with:

 
I used the new Honeycomb embossing folder from the Spring Catalog!! I LOVE this folder! One of the best ever!!!!

Unfortunately, I seem to need more sympathy cards than anything these days! This could be sympathy or just empathy. This Thinking of You stamp set is a beautiful set.  I just love that tree!!!

The slide is from the Holiday Mini. I wish they'd continued those! I really like them! Of course, I used it on the retired grosgrain ribbon! I have a lot of that! I love it! Kinda stocked up when I found out it was retiring.  I think there's still some on the Clearance Rack!

I used some Dazzling Details to add a sparkle to the tree! See...

 
Just enough to give it an extra "pop". Didn't wanna go too blingy on a sympathy card!

So this is a very clean & simple card this week. No fancy techniques or anything. I really like how those colors work together tho!

So "hop" on over to Liz's blog & see how she used Gumball Green on her card. Take a guess...did she use the Midnight Muse or So Saffron?? Be sure to let her know how much you love her work!!!

Happy Stampin!

  3. This is really special, Joni. What a nice "feel" to a thinking of you card. And you are right, this color combo is wonderful. I, too, love this set. And don't get me started on that new honeycomb emb folder. I have to stop myself from using it on every card -- love it. Great challenge.
