Mellow Yellow



Hello everyone! On a sick day like this I think the colour of happiness, Yellow is indeed needed. Another card that has no stamps--jeez I am lucky that my creative juices are expanding these days LOL. One my tricks when doing a monochromatic piece is using different shades from the same colour family. For instance, I used Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed and Brushed Corduroy DIs. Although Brushed Corduroy was more of a brown I utilized it for shadows. That being said, kraft cardstock is the perfect colour for the diecut sentiment! To add more texture I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch to frame the focal point of the card. P.S. This was my first ever in-laid die cut technique! It was soooo much fun! I hope you like it!


xoxo,

I found some paper flowers in my stash and it was perfect for the photo shoot!

I am in love with this script die cut!

More yellow things please!
