If you have been visiting me for a while you will know that yellow is not one of my favourite colours to work with.
Scrabbling through the 12x12 paper I found this striped paper. In fact found several sheets of it - most in real vivid colours (really 'in your face' colours that make you need to shield your eyes!). Don't remember buying them either!
The yellow one though was actually quite a nice shade and with a few bits of white card laying about on the desk, I made this simple and quick.
Die was coloured with Inktense Watercolour Pencils.
Only little bits of stamping - the sentiment obviously - but the butterflies looked flat once I had coloured them so just inked up a teeny flourish stamp with Certainly Celery ink and gave their tiny bodies a few curly bits!
Joining in the following challenges -
LIM - Stripe
HLS Dies - A/Goes
4 Crafty Chicks - Butterflies
Allsorts - I spy (:Letter 'B')
Petal Lu - Yellow Flowers
Am now busy preparing for the next trip and still have a few things to do - but thinking about wrapping up and going for a long walk as it seems a shame to waste the sunshine even if it is cold!
Have a great day whatever you're doing and thanks for stopping by! x

Beautiful card Viv, love the yellow. So Spring its perfect.
Ha ha! I laughed out loud when I read about you discovering those papers Viv (bet we all have some somewhere in our craft rooms). You used it so beautifully on this card. I'm a lover of having a bit of pattern or colour peeking from the base card so this one was bound to be a favourite for me. The luscious lemons look beautiful on the delicate wildflower and butterflies....and what a gorgeous swirly font on that sentiment! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
So pretty, Viv! Love the bright and cheerful colours of this card. xx
A very pretty and clean looking card Viv. It's just perfect for Spring. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
Love that stripey yellow border. What a zing it gives the rest of the card. You have reminded me I have some digital papers just perfect for making a card for the second weeks inspiration. Best get a move on and make it then!! Thank you for fluttering by the butterfly garden. Hugs Mrs A.
