Anyway to explain:-
Each month a couple of mates and I meet to make cards (well more to put the world and the NHS to rights) and each month we take it in turns to set a challenge to bring along to the next meeting. It is my turn this time and at the last meeting I struggled to think of anything. My brain had gone walk about - in the outback! Then I thought "what do I hate (using craft wise) the most?" That way I could stretch my mind a bit!
Ahh I thought eventually! I hate the colour yellow! Now, as far as I am concerned, yellow is the colour of daffodils and custard and that is fine, (more than fine), but for me that is where the colour should stay! I know, I know, lots of you love yellow, but not me! So there lies my challenge, make a card using YELLOW and black only! I know for all you yellow lovers out there it would be easy, but not for me and many attempts later and half a bin full of yellow rubbish here are a few I came up with:-
This card My hubby who knows everything, tells me I have put the message the wrong way round, (the Structural Engineer in him), I am not going to tell him, but looking at it he is right, Ho hum! I like my little bee.
Lots of different stamps here but I think they go well together. Distressed ink and a smidge of glimmer mist give it a bit more life I thought. (used on the card above too)
The next two are a bit more conventional, using plain card and just stamping, I prefer the top two!
The last of my yellow cards, are you still awake?
And if you ever send me a card, please make it any colour other than YELLOW, but you could send me a bowl of custard if you like!
