An idea in yellow...

An idea in yellow...it can be the beginning for many happy thoughts. That is the "idea" behind this bright and sunny card inspired by the Moxie Fab World Tuesday trigger photo.  Reminds me of spring popping up and pushing the grey skies in the background. What do you think?

Image/Sentiment: Printworks, Impression Obsession
Colors: Copic Markers in cool gray, buttercup yellow, napoli yellow
 leaf green, pale sepia
Embellishments: grosgrain ribbon, white pearls. tag, brad
Tools: Baby's breath oval punch, scalloped circle punch
Supplies: Mounting foam

Challenges
Moxie Fab World  (Tuesday Trigger - photo inspiration)
Pear Tree Designs (#38 ribbon)
Pink Gem (#15 button, brad, bead, bow)
Simply Create (#38 power of flowers)


Where did my creative adventure take me today? Can you just imagine a big, rambling Victorian house painted creamy yellow and trimmed in bright white. On the porch is a big white rocker surrounded by moss-lined pots of flowers --- just starting to burst open. Wish I was there now with a big
 glass of homemade lemonade.

Stay warm harted,
Elizabeth

    Thank you for opening my eyes to new color combinations. Yellow and grey is my new favorite after viewing this card. It is magnificent. Completely compliments the inspiration photo. Both are like looking at works of art. Bravo!
