It is inspiring me to create with colours I wouldn't usually use ...
This week is
YELLOW,
and as much as I love yellow, such a happy colour, but it one of the colours I wouldn't usually gravitate towards when I create something !!

..and what a coincidence , I also recieved this lovely bundle of ribbons and buttons from the lovely Ali from Crafty Ribbons
to create two projects for...
...and has it happens there were lots of yellow goodies in my bundle
So I decided to combine the challenges..and created a 'Yellow' card...
I love this wired ribbon...I pleated it and made a bow with it.
I used lovely retro style papers from 'Cosmo Cricket' ODDS & ENDS collage kit

Very beautiful! Yellow is not my favorite color either but after seeing your creations I may change my mind!
I love this..that yellow ribbon is just a beautiful touch! :) nan
Great card. I love how you've used the sewing machine. The best way to add texture! Thank you for dropping by my blog. Julie
This is so beautiful. I love your style you make so many pretty things. x
I like your design and the soft yellow. Darling little girl too.
Thanks for calling into my blog and for your comments Jan.... I've just come back from a holiday in Norfolk, so am playing catch-up!
I LOVE your yellow and all the little bits and pieces that you've added.It has a really pretty retro look to it. And what a lovely idea to work with a specific colour each week. I might just try and find time to have a go.
Oh what a great color combo : yellow and turquoise...splendid creation dear Jan...Love all the details!

Oh Jan, this is beautiful. I know what you mean not using colours you aren't used to but makes us appreciate them more when we see wonderful creations such as this.
How cool was that getting those yellow buttons and that ribbon is a nice shabby touch.
Les ♥
it is a lovely page of yellow art...that ribbon is great on your vintage creation...I like it very very much...want to see your next brown creation xxx
Cool! wonderful combination of yellow and blue! and so many harmonized details to look at!
I love the vintage look that you accomplished with this page. The pleated ribbon is a great addition. I have got to get some of those scrabble pieces for my art. Great job this week.
I am learning so many things during this Summer of colours! But the main one is how boring my birthday cards are!!!
You have such an amazing imagination and good taste!
Since I started taking part on this event I've been collecting all buttons around the house and any sort of fabric and lace that it is pretty enough.
I just need to keep learning from you all and I am sorted! ;o)
You created such a cute piece! I love all the bits of texture & scrabble tile words = love! :)
This is so sweet Jan, I think you nailed it completely. Love how you pleated the ribbon too x
so cute and happy!
just lovely Jan, the yellow ribbon really sets it off :)
Must just tell you Jan, that I went to the Knitting and Stitching Show at AllyPally today and Crafty Ribbons were there - and I saw your yellow card on their display! They have a lot of examples around the top of their stand, but your card really stood out - it's beautiful! That's all, just had to tell you - lol xx
