Color Throwdown #478

Good Morning- Happy, Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another set of colors at the Color Throwdown!! This week the colors were chosen by Lynn !! 


  This week we're playing with light blue, bright pink, lime green, and yellow.




I played with Neat and Tangled's Warm Winter Scene Cover Plate die- you can see with this card how versatile it is- obviously not a warm winter scene :-) How fun is that for someone with a new home!!

Some inspiration...

Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop #1- January

Oh my word.... It's January... Did  you have great holidays- I hope so!! Sorry I'm a little late. I started out delayed on my flight home from Indiana, then my camera battery wouldn't charge- once that was all fixed, I couldn't get access to my blog-geesh!!!

For today, it's all about winter [again :-)] brrr...


I'm in a little hurry this am- I got up early to see if I could get things working again- will post later the exact stamps I used and links. 


Here's a little close up of the glitter (to look like snow) on the wheel and the spattered paint for snow.



Here's my inspiration pic for the winter sunset.
