Color Throwdown 125 and SSSC100

Happy Wednesday to everyone!  If you missed the drawing for all the prizes from the CTD team yesterday, check out the CTD blog for all the details!  Now, on to this week’s colors!  Barbara is our hostess and she has chosen these beautiful, soft colors:

I pulled out some Basic Grey Capella and Melissa Frances Home for the Holidays DPs and my new SU set, Nature Walk to make this card.  LOVE that set!  This card will be a thank you for someone who was very sweet to me!  So here we go:

I also used Karen’s Sweet Sunday Sketch, turned on its side:

A few detail shots:

Love the vintage look of these images!  The sentiment is from Word Play, stamped in Soft Suede.  I also stamped the bee in White Shimmer paint, which gives it a nice little subdued glimmer.  Some stitching, a ruffle-y seam binding, a glittered scalloped edge, a felt heart and some pearl embellishments finish it off.  The glitter looks rather raspberry here in this picture----it’s a bit more subdued IRL!
