Here is the sketch that I followed for this challenge:


I have used background paper from MME for this card.  The image is from Milk Coffee and has been coloured using copic markers in the yellow colour range.  The matting is yellow cardstock.

The lace is some that I purchased while I was on holiday.  The ribbon is a yellow grosgrain ribbon from American Crafts.  The flower has been punched from some yellow cardstock by DCWV using a Mariannes Creatables Die.  The die comes with a die-cut for the centre but I decided I would use some tiny pearls instead.

As yellow is my favourite colour, I got alot of enjoyment from creating a monochromatic yellow card.  It looks so bright and fresh - just the thing for a horrible rainy day like today!!

    What a sweet image, Suze. I love your soft pastel colors and adorable image. I am sorry you had trouble linking up. I don't know what seems to be the problem the past few weeks with inlinkz. I have had problems with it too. Thanks for joining us.

    Very sweet. I love that paper and the monochromatic look you've got going on. It is very complimentary.

    Hey, wait a second, I thought orange was your favourite colour, not yellow? How'd I mix that up?
