COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

Hi there!!! Visiting from Helen's blog??? Glad you're here!!! Hope you enjoy my creations as much as Helen's. She is amazing!!!!

So this week's challenge is Summer Starfruit with either Elegant Eggplant & Baja Breeze or with Real Red & Marina Mist. Now soooo many people are at odds with Summer Starfruit, but I have loved it from the beginning!!! It's an odd color-yellow with a hint of greenish to it! But I love it!

So I laid the colors out & immediately chose the Real Red & Marina Mist, because I totally saw a little boy's card & I needed a card for my son's best friend who just had a baby boy!!! But then I liked the way the other colors looked & need a thank you for dudes-it was perfect!!! So I made 2!!! One of each color scheme!!!

Now the pics' colors are somewhat distorted. I took the pics at night so the lighting wasn't good unfortunately!  But I totally love how these 2 cards came out! Perfect for the occasions!

So here's the baby card!

I used Aviary! I love these little birds but seldom find a use for them!! I'm so glad I got to use them! The 3rd one isn't hanging from nowhere! 

Throw in a Sassy Salutations & you're good to go!!!

I used the Silver Marker on the base stamp.  It looks cool in person-kinda like metal!  

I so love those Ribbon Slides from the Holiday Mini. I wish they'd carried them over!  

Here's the inside!

Yup-a retired stamp! But perfect sentiment for my little Derick Joseph!!! He's only 2 weeks old!! Like a little grandbaby for me! Can't wait to meet him!!!!

Well now here's the "Dude" thank you!!!

Plain & simple!!!The background doesn't look it here, but it really is 

Baja Breeze & the "you're amazing" is in Perfect Plum! Again-the lighting!!! The balloon has Irradescent Ice embossing!!! 

This stamp set You're Amazing tends to come out when I need a dude card! I like it!!! We got it as a "freebie" at convention, & I wasn't sure when I'd ever use it, but I do more than I thought! I love the little elephant with the party hat!!!

Here's the inside of this one!

So now I have 2 beautiful cards!!! I really like them both!  Hope you do too!!!

Now head on over to Teri's blog & see what she did with the colors! I'm sure I'll be CASEing hers soon-again!!!! Luv her style!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!!!
