Mellow Yellow

Annabelle stamps says - do it in yellow, so I did.  A double shot if you followed February's sketch (which I did) and I used an Annabelle stamp (All Things Grow), which I will put into the Gallery and get another shot at the prize!


I was playing with the Cuttlebug and making lots of stock pieces from the various card scraps, so used two of those from my Spellbinders Tags, a piece of yellow card embossed with hearts folder and the flower is a Martha Stewart punch (six times) and then layered with a button.  The background stamp behind the flower is the grass from "All Things Grow" and that is where the butterfly comes from, stamped on the sentiment tag and onto vellum and then fussy cut, using SU Suede ink.  The green vines come from a Marianne Creatables flower die.  

Got to go and watch the Lake Eyre show - sounds fascinating! Then on to the Miss Marple mystery - love Sunday night viewing on the ABC!
