My Personal Challenge

Hi Everyone,
As usually on Saturdays it's Sandy here.
I hope you haven't missed that our March challenge went live yesterday; the theme for this month is Easter. I had a busy week so I didn't get around to creating anything for the challenge, but I hope to be able to do so in the next couple of days.

For today though, I set myself a challenge...yellow!
Now yellow is not a colour I tend to use very often...as a matter of fact, I avoid it as much as I can.
I'm not sure where this aversion against yellow comes from, but possibly it's from growing up in Sweden, where we have the expression  "gult är fult", which basically means "yellow is ugly". :-)

But is it really that bad?
I wanted to find out....

 I've used one image from the "Bouquet" sheet by Pion Design. As you can see, her dress is tinted in yellow. The papers are "Beautiful Ladies" and "Ranunculus" from the "For Mother" collection, also from Pion.

As this week's theme is pearls, I used all three different pearl strings available at the store: around the image there's the 2mm pearl string, over the flowers I wrapped a piece of the string with 3&8 mm pearls and at the bottom there's the new pearl string with 6mm pearls. There are also some Melissa Frances pearls, two pearl hearts, and the berries pins.
The pins are currently out of stock, but I'm expecting a delivery end of next week.

Same goes for Lace "Greta Garbo", which I used at the bottom of the card, together with the Cluny Lace with Threaded Ribbon in Cream. There's also a tiny piece of the cream coloured Maya Road Organza Roses Trim attached to the heart die cut out at the top of the card.

Here are some close up pics:

Isn't the little Easter Bunny Charm adorable?!!!
The seam binding is the "Vanilla Cream", and I attached a trinket from Prima's Tea Thyme Set with it.

I don't have many yellow flowers in my stash, and the Cherry Blossom flower I found was a bit too yellow for my taste, so I toned it down with Gesso. :-)

Summa Summarum:
I think it's only fair to say that yellow is never going to be my favourite colour, but it ain't too bad, I think, and I'd definitely not go as far as saying that it's ugly! :-)

Have a great weekend and please stop by tomorrow again to see Louise's pearl project.

Hugz,
Sandy
