*** A quick note to my blog subscribers! I was able to finally change the time my emailings go out whenever there is a new blog post! My hope is that with the new time, you will see my content and posts on the same day they're published, instead of the next morning! If all goes right, your email from me with new content will arrive later in the morning around 7-8am PST - so keep a lookout! Let me know what you think - and if you notice the change! XOXO ***
Hi there my creative and crafty friends! It's my turn today over on The Greetery Blog to share a fun project with you! Of course, I have to share here too! Summer is winding down and I always start crafting with yellow this time of year. I made a card with one of my favorite color combinations: yellow, kraft, and white! I used the beautiful Greetery Spring Meadow Stencils and Dies in kind of a different way! Instead of using all different colors for the flowers, I made them all shades of yellow! I've never tried that before with the floral dies, and I like how it looks this way too! I previously used this stencil set in blues and purples so this is a completely different vibe!
My finished card is an A2 Kraft card base, layered with White and some yellow patterned paper then the pretty oval for my bouquet to fit onto. I used the new Hoopla Oval Inserts Dies (see that pretty pierced detail?) as my background. The sentiment is from the Tagged Elegance Set, and it fit perfectly onto the round die from the Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set. This just screams Summer to me!
I stenciled in four shades of yellow inks, two shades of green inks, and then brown ink for the flower centers. I splattered on some white paint for an artsy feel, and also added a few yellow gems. This card would be great for any occasion, and you could make it in any color! I'm thinking all pink would be pretty too!
Here's a side view of my layeres. I love that new patterned paper (Doodlebug of course)! I wrapped twine around it too....
A sprinkling of soft yellow gems...
Okay friends! That's it for today! Have a blessed and happy and creative day! I will see you soon....keep on crafting! XOXO

Another cheery card! Using shades instead of different colors is a great idea!

I love this so much. You know yellow is my favorite color. It seems summer is winding down. We are picking vegetables on a daily basis. All of my berries have done so well this year. Getting blueberries and loads of blackberries this season. Love it! Take care sweet friend, and TFS

LOVELY WORK, Wanda! I LOVE the mix of products you've used with your YELLOW flowers! Yellow is a nice go-between color for this season. ;) HOPE you are doing well there & staying cool!
