'And it was called Yellow'

Good Morning All,

This Saturday we don't have anything planned, so I foresee a day of crafting for me (shhh I haven't told Jamie this yet)

I woke up fairly early this morning so I disappeared into my craft room and started having a play about.

A fairly simple card from me this morning but I like the finished effect.


Not much supplies to list, I think its fairly obvious what I have used to create this card!

Challenges Entered
CAS-ual Fridays - Happy Birthday
Less Is More - Colour Challenge - Yellow (although I think my white candle detracts from my yellow ribbon too much)

Hope you all have a nice weekend, I am off now to finish making a handbag on the sewing machine.

Thanks for visiting

    I love it, Gillian! And I think the yellow is a highlight of the card, not lost against the white at all. :-)
