Coloring Down the Lines-Melon Mambo & Pretty in Pink

Once again is time for our blog hop.  Welcome, and I know you loved the card that  our creative Amanda made at www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.    She is very gifted, isn't she?  I'm always excited to see what everyone makes.This week,  our colors are Melon Mambo & Pretty in pink.  I used that old stamp set "Winter Roses" and I couldn't wait to try the tutorial on stampin connection where she uses aluminum duct tape to emboss and stick on the cards.  It's so cool!  You have to try it!  Anyway, I hope you like it.  Now go to Helen's awesome blog at www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com.  She is a sweetie, and VERY talented too!  I don't know where she comes up with her ideas.  Well, enjoy and thanks for visiting once again.  Carol Smith

Serene Silhouettes

I cased this from someone. Don't remember who, I apologize, but I thougt it was gorgeous.  It's showing up a little pale, but I just stamped the serene silhouette stamp over top each other, first with crumb cake, and then with white embossing powder.  It makes an elegant get well or sympathy card.  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

Sketch Frenzy Friday

Hello ladies!  I am glad to be in this week.  Though I'm not sure how I feel about this one, I liked the sketch.    I just wanted to use my newly bought Very Vintage wheel.    Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

With Sympathy

Hi ladies!  I made a few of these cards I am pretty sure I found on the Stampin Connection, only that was done in green and pink.  Our pastor's father died, so I needed a couple for the family.  Such a dear, sweet man.  I just changed up the color schemes and put on some pearls and sprayed with the champagne glitter mist.  Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

Coloring Down the Lines- Cajan Craze and Tangerine Tango

Hi Ladies!  Well, we've been through the spectrum of the color wheel, now we are on to a more monochramatic look.  This week was Cajan Craze and Tangerine tango.  A beautiful combination!  I know you liked what you saw at Amanda's blog.  www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.  She always has an inspiring look.  my card is a little weird, I think, but I just used the cajan color on the background and the tangerine on the flower and pinwheel.  the stamp set is an old retired one called "Winter Rose" and the pinwheel is a die from Lil' Inkers.  I hope it makes even a little sense to you.  Now lets see the beautiful card that Helen made.  I LOVE it!  www.bluedhliadesigns.blogspot.com.  Thanks for visiting and hopping with us today.  Carol Smith
