Mellow Yellow

It's Monday and i would normally consider this day of the week as Monday blues... but in today's case, it is very inappropriate for my creation.... hehe!! time for another wonderful challenge at Lollipop Crafts!!

Challenge #43 is hosted by Tammy and she wants you to go MONOCHROMATIC! use ONE color in various shades.... this does exclude skin tones if you want (i think, haha)... so pull out your fave color in different shades and get CRAFT HAPPY!!!
we have a new and exciting sponsor for the challenge this week... STITCHY BEAR DIGITAL STAMPS!! Oh my!! you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE the many different images (from many different creators) in this store... check them out! an awesome prize is up for grabs for one lucky random winner! prize info and challenge rules may be found on the LC blog.... link your creations to the LC blog by Saturday, 8pm PST for a chance to win...

yes, my fave color is blue but i went a little "mellow" for the challenge... i never did an all yellow creation before so this was indeed fun! i used Stitchy Stamps Butterfly Love image for today's card in many shades of YELLOW.... even her lips are yellow! click on the pix to enlarge so you can see it... i LOVE the way this came out.... monochromatic creations are always a pleasure to see... even the sentiment is stamped in yellow! =D now i've got that darn song stuck in my head.... "they call me mellow yellow...." LOL... thank goodness i was able to snag some yellow DP from the craft store to go with my yellow bling bling and pearls, ribbon and flower... there is also a hint of yellow stickles on the image... what do you think of my yellow approach?!?

don't forget to check out what my Lollipop sisters have waiting for you and see what COLOR they're playing with... once you've gotten the inspiration, come out and join us in this fun challenge!

Thank you for your heartfelt comments and for spending a few minutes with me... please come back tomorrow for a day that i didn't want to come so soon, but it is and i'm just both HAPPY and a little SAD.... sweet crafting until then.....

  7. I don't usually like monochromatic cards or the color yellow, but your card changed my mind. It is really quite restful to see something with many shades of the same color even a high energy color like yellow seems quiet.
