COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

Hey there!!! It's Wednesday!! 

Coloring Down the Lines Blog Hop day!! Woohoo!  This week we have some nice subtle colors!! I like it!!!

You may be here from Helen's blog. Welcome! I'm glad you're here!!! Remember to hop over to Sandy's blog when you're finished here!  There's lots of good stuff to see on the blogs on this hop.  Be sure to leave a comment! We love to hear from you!!

So here's this week's card:

Here is the inspiration picture & colors:

And here are the Stampin' Up! colors:

Very Vanilla
Crisp Cantaloupe
Basic Black
Mossy Meadow
Marina Mist

It's a very simple card this week! I was in a CAS mood this week!  It's been such a hectic few weeks that simple & quiet is what I need right now! I figured this was calming.

The stamp sets are Gorgeous Grunge, Label Something and 

Daydream Medallion.  The shapes were cut with the 

Floral Frames Framelits. They work perfectly with the Daydream Medallion stamp set!!!

I added a couple of embellies this week.  I used a Gold Basic Metal Button, some In-Color Sequins & a piece of the Crisp Cantalope Baker's Twine.  Sweet, simple additions!!!

Hope you liked! Now head over to Sandy's blog & enjoy her design! Tell her I said hi!

Happy Stampin'!!!

COLORING DOWN THE LINES!!

Happy Wednesday! Here we go again! Yippee! I love my little 

Coloring Down the Lines Blog Hop! Glad you are here again!

If you're traveling here from Helen's blog, I know you've seen something pretty amazing!  Same thing will happen when you hit up Sandy's blog next!!! Such talented ladies!

So here is the inspiration:

Here are the Stampin' Up! color in MDS:

And here's my card this week:

I was kind of excited when these were announced because I could finally use one of my new Blendabilities for the blog hop! Go Wisteria Wonder! lol

So I learned this cute little trick with the Chevron Border Punch! I love how it looks. Very lattice-y!

 I am copping to some retired ribbon! Perfect Plum to be specific! Sorry! But it works! lol

The flowers were punched using the Pansy and Petite Petals punches. Stamped first, of course, with the Flower Shop & Petite Petals stamp sets! The "Hello" comes from the Label Something stamp set punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder punch.  Works well on this card. I think I  need to stock up on my sentiment stamp sets!

The little dots in the middle of the flowers were made with hot melt believe it or not! A nifty little trick we learned at convention this summer!

Finally, a little faux ribbon using the Tiny Triangles Embossing Folder. Adds just a little flair to the "ribbon"!

So enjoy hopping around the blogs this week! There are some great creations to see!!!

See you next time!

Happy Stampin'!
