Oh no! Not yellow and gray! I kind of have an adversion to gray, I think of gray cloudy days and feeling blah. I did tackle a yellow and gray challenge once before and actually loved the card I made, so I decided to dig through my papers and see what might work this time. I found some Basic Grey PB&J that I had bought online, and then had buyer's remorse. I never thought I'd use it, but there was yellow and gray, and surprisingly, I actually liked it! Lesson learned - Don't knock it 'till you try it !
I used the JustRite "Grand Sentiments" stamp set. I love the gorgeous font. This is an absolute must have stamp set in my book!
I used Spellbinders Ovals, Spellbinders Basic Lattice and Spellbinders Fancy Tags three.
The seam binding ribbon and lace are vintage from my grandmother's collection, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and it's finished off with a pile of pearls.

Gorgeous card Shona ! The flowers are so pretty and so is the colour combo, it worked out great. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I like how you modified that tag. You did an AWESOME job with these colors! SEE, that's what these challenges are about because I wouldn't normally pick those colors either (even though I did) - LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at JustRite Inspiration ;-)
Shona,
ReplyDeleteWow! Your card is stunning! You definitely don't need to fret about gray..your card is very sunny and cheerful. I love how you used your grandmother's vintage lace and ribbon,they are beautiful!

Shona, your card is beautiful! No, no make that GORGEOUS!!! You tackled this challenge with great ease my dear. See you did make a great project with those papers ;-)
ReplyDeleteWHOA, Shona, LOVE your lattice & bet that would be FUN to do a weave with too?! Hmmm, may have to add that to my Wish List! I'm also envious of your Grandmother's vintage lace & seam binding and LOVE how you've added them here on this STUNNING creation!
ReplyDeleteSheri challenged us with these colors and just look how many of us rose to the occasion -- WOW!!!
I really like this card and am storing, in my memory, some of the ideas you used to try out myself. TFS.
ReplyDeleteShona- your card is so sweet. I really like it!
