Coloring Down the Lines – Borders

Good Morning Stampers!

Well yesterday I had my ladies at New Towne Village.  They had a good time making some simple 4th of July cards.  After that I cleaned my bathrooms and spent the day knitting.  I have a shawl I need to have finished by the 20th so I need to get it done.  I plan on relaxing and knitting again tomorrow.  I want to recuperate so I can get back to a regular routine.  Today I am going to vacuum my house.  Jess, Chris, and Zoie are headed to the beach for a week on Saturday so I want to have things in order before they leave.

My card today is for the Coloring Down the Lines blog hop.  I am the start of the hop.  This week our colors were chosen by Helen.

Our added piece this week was to use an edgelit or framelit border.

I have to admit when I went to work on this I was pretty tired and had no idea what I was going to do.  I decided to make a bunch of punched flowers and I was going to use the edgelit down the side and have some stamped flowers down the inside of the card peeking out from the card front.  I could not get my edgelit to cut on the card without ruining the card.  I decided to make it a layer and add it on top.  Here is what my final creation looked like.
