Color Dare #76

There's not much left in my stash for Smoothie!  I pulled this scrap from the little bit that's left of Mayberry, and matched it up with Champagne background and some Coca for contrast.  And bitty pearls are good on almost everything.

Color Dare #75

It's cold here in Northern Alabama and getting colder, so my mind keeps wandering to the beach.   The lagoon color in this weeks Color My Heart dare had me digging in the Later Sk8ter paper pack and thinking of the Emerald coast I like to visit in the summer.




There are no beach stamp sets in the Spring/Summer 2014 catalog, but this one is still available - Bright Sunshiny Day D1538. 





This card uses the same colors, with a 3.5" balloon cut from the Artiste cartridge (page 70) and some lagoon bakers twine.  The words are torn from an old book.  I waded the paper up, smoothed it out, then drug the ink pad over the paper (lagoon and sky). The banner is from Lifting Spirits C1570.  The background is kraft paper stamped with the map stamp from the Tommy kit (in champagne).  Both cards use paper from the Brown & Tan glitter paper pack.
