COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

This week in our Coloring Down the Lines Blog Hop we are looking at some very pretty colors! Wintery yet with a spring "thing"! 

Welcome back to those from Helen's blog!! It's been awhile! So glad she was able to get her computer all set! I missed her!  But don't forget to go see 

Miss Liz at her blog after visiting here!!! There's a whole world of good on this hop! We have almost a full house this week!!!

So here's my card:

Here's the inspiration:

Here are the Stampin' Up! colors in MDS:

I've been dying to try out my new stamp set Sheltering Tree! It just arrived last week! These colors seemed to work well for a "spring" tree! Maybe like cherry blossoms-sorta!!

This is a very simple card!! Now if you follow this blog, you know that I like a CAS style! I keep them simple so you can do them easily too! I love looking at all the beautiful Victorian cards with lots of ephemera & embellishments & all, but not my style! I like to make cards that you can do as a beginner, yet "bling" up once ya get comfortable with it! I think this card fits that.  

The only embellishments here are the Pistachio Pudding Baker's Twine & some small Pearl Basic Jewels! I kinda mess with the banner a bit & raised it up! Not sure if you can see it in the picture, but they are there!!! lol

So please keep hopping & enjoy the hop this week!!!!

Happy Stampin'!
