YUMMY ARTICHOKE COLORING!

Welcome to this week's Coloring Down the Lines blog hop!!! I'm so happy for this week's colors! I tend to go for the "muted" or rustic colors. I'm kinda earthy I guess!!! Up til now, most of the colors have been bright & vibrant! Pretty! But I'm very happy with the earthy crunchy colors!!! 

So if you've hopped over from Helen's blog, I hope you're enjoying the muted tones! Makes me think fall-even though I'm not ready to give up summer yet! I guess I'd better-we actually turned the heat on today!

Anyway, this week's colors are

          Always Artichoke, Wisteria Wonder, Crumb Cake                             
      or                
  Always Artichoke, So Saffron, Cajun Craze

I chose the first batch because I haven't used Wisteria Wonder in awhile! I thought it was an interesting challenge to pair it with Always Artichoke!

So here it is!!

First of all, bear in mind this card is a standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Not sure why it distorted so! 

Anyhoo!Kinds went outside the lines even though we are coloring down the lines! I did stamp on the Wisteria Wonder for the sentiment using 

Seasonal Sayings! But I thought I'd try a fall wreath! Just because! I used the Secret Garden Framelits leaf framelit to cut the leaves for the wreath It's kinda reminds me a little of eucalyptus!  My favorite wheel-the Gingham wheel- added a bit of "country" on the side!

Here's a close up of the wreath!

Not sure what the shadows are! Looks like water spots! They don't really appear in real life! Just the photos! Hmmmm!!!!

The Pearls add a nice touch I think!

So hop on over now to Liz's blog & see if she went fall! I'll see you there!!!

Please excuse my lack of posts last week & this! I am working heavily on my church's Fall Festival! Including organizing a big crafters/vendor's fair for this coming Sunday!  I'll be sure to post pics of my SU table there!!!

Happy Stampin'!
