Coloring Down the Lines - Night of Navy

You've just arrived here from Amanda's wonderful blog at www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.  This week we used Night of Navy with either pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler, or Old Olive and Daffodill Delight.  I used the 2nd one, but not sure how i feel about this one.  I just stamped it on the dsp and then colored them in with my markers and outlined in night of navy ink with my blender pen.  Let me know what you think, k?  Now go for some more inspiration in Helen's blog at www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com.  She always has a way of inspiring me.  Enjoy and thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith
ps- this set is called Growing Green.

Stampin Celebration challenge

Coloring Down the Lines - Elegant Eggplant

I can't believe it's time for our color blog hop already!  My, how time gets away... You have just been at Amanda's blog at www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.  I know you loved every bit of her blog.  She's very gifted.  This week we were to use elegant Eggplant with either more mustard and garden green, OR melon mambo and river rock.  I used the first combination, and this is what I made.  I used the Summer Silhouettes set. I stamped it on watercolor paper which makes it look a little muted,  but I think I like it that way.  I embossed the background  with the fancy fan folder and added a bow in elegant eggplant also.  Be sure to let me know what you think!  Now go to our new friend Helen's blog at www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com.  She has so many wonderful inspiring ideas, I'm sure you'll agree.  Thanks for visiting our blogs.

Morning Chat Challenge-waterfall card

Welcome to Donna's morning chat challenge at www.butternutsagedesigns.blogspot.com , where we were to make a card with moving parts.  I almost didn't play, but I did a lot of research and found this pattern for the waterfall card. I never heard of this, let alone made one, so it Was a definite challenge.  But it was worth it, because it stretched my inspiration SOO much!  Turned out really nice, and it's not that hard.  I used the papaya collage set.  Hope you like it. Carol Smith I'm gonna make some more!!  :)

Coloring down the lines - Riding Hood Red

Once again, we have an exciting lineup for our Coloring down the lines bloghop.  You've just seen Amanda's creation which I can't wait to see myself.  Her blog is www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.   This week we had to use Riding Hood Red.  I chose to use it with  basic gray and more mustard.  I embossed the medallion stamp and made a rosette with the clear button in the center.  I sponged more mustard over top and around the edges and added the bird from nature walk.   I hope you like it.  Now  go to Liz's blog at www.lizzystamps.wordpress.com.  She always has a really nice product too.  Thanks for blogging with us.  Carol Smith

Stippled Blossoms

Just a couple entries today... This card turned out so feminine.  Perfect for a friend from school days whos battling illness.  i hope it makes her feel better.  It's simply the outline rose from stippled blossoms in riding hood red, and leaves are old olive.  I put the top through the BS with the heart border folder and punched the bottom.  Beautiful  and simple.  Thanks for visiting today.  Carol Smith

Mixed Bunch

This card is cased from one i received in the mail from a friend.  I changed the leaves and added some bling, but it's the same beauty!  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith
