Papertrey March Blog Hop

The last time I participated in a yellow color challenge is was the May 2009 PTI blog hop.  I made this card ... I think I started that post saying how I'm not much into yellow, but I'd give it a go.

Things haven't changed much in the last nearly 3 years.  Still not a yellow fan. Its OK, but not a go to color for me ya know what I mean....  But I did love the bright cheery inspiration photo on this dull and dreary MIdwest day.  And since this has been declared an unofficial jammie day by my good friend Tara, I decided to craft a little.

Here's my card:

 I really thought I'd end up with stripes or polka dots ... thats what really stood out to me in the photo.  But when I went into my crafting lair I saw my poor BB:Medallions set sitting all alone and "never-been-inked" on my table.  I decided that had to change.  I used a color combo of Delightful Daffodil (SU! - my lemon tart got left open overnight and I haven't replaced it yet) Summer Sunrise, and Spring Moss.

My stamping buddy Tara had done a rainbow inking technique on a sentiment at this months stamp camp with stellar results, so I decided to give it a go.  I inked the whole sentiment with the Delightful Daffodil then added Summer Sun to the beginning and Spring Moss to the end.  The "Mother's" is stamped in Daffodil and the "Day:" is stamped in Spring Moss.

I rock and rolled the solid peony from this year's anniversary set in Daffodil and Summer Sun and stamped on a scrap of white CS.  I used Crumb Cake (Kraft) on the outline and stamped over the top.  The leaves I stamped in Spring Moss directly on the sentiment layer.  I cut the peony out with a craft blade then adhered it with some foam tape.

Thanks for stopping.  Happy Hoppin'
