Coloring Down the Lines with Layered Rectangles

Welcome from Amanda's blog, as I know you were treated to something beautiful!www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.  This is my version of our inspiration photo, layered rectangles.  Let me know what you think.  I really didn't know how this would end up, but it sorta looks like a door with a windowbox in front of it.  I used All the colors from above except for Sahara Sand.  Let's see how Helen made out.  She always comes up with a very unique card, I get a lot of inspiration from her.  www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com.  Enjoy the rest of the hop:  I can't wait to see what they made either...Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

Coloring Down the Lines- Colored Grass

Happy Wednesday to you, and that means it's blog hop day!  You've just come from Amanda's blog atwww.ourcraftyplaydate.blotspot.com.  I know her card is gorgeous!  This is what I created:  I chose colors as close to the swatches as I thought I could:  For the flower, I used Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder.  and the background was made using Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizazz, and Coastal Cabana.  our side kick was to use Ribbon.  I kinda like how this turned out, so let me know what you think of it.  I added a few crystals for more bling.  Now on to Joni's creation.  She's so crafty, I know you'll love what she has for us.  www.joniinthespotlightstamping.com thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

A case for ya

Good Monday to you  ladies!  This is something I cased, I couldn't resist it.  I think it is so fancy.  And it can be used for any occasion!    It is just stamped in soft suede and on the brown paper, you stamp in early espresso, and then use versa mark and emboss it again in white.  Hope it inspires you, too!  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith
