Friendly sunshine yellow

Hello crafting friends!

What better to do on a rainy June afternoon than crack open the yellow inks and make your own sunshine! Come and see:

This card was made with the little cluster of flowers from Mimosas by Avery Elle. I made a mask by stamping it onto a sticky note and cutting it out, then stamped it several times along the edge of a side-opening card base. Once I had a border stamped, I trimmed the right-hand side of the card front away using sharp paper snips.

The flowers were coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and I stamped a sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Pretty Pansies over the top.

I knew these bright markers would bleed through the card front but I had a cunning plan! I cut a piece of yellow card stock to fit, stencilled it with Funky Fossil's Brick Wall using matching ink for a tone-on-tone look, then glued it inside the card front. Problem solved!

EDITED TO ADD AN AWARD
Lovely to be Honourably Mentioned at Just Add Ink for this card :)

CHALLENGES
I'm linking this card up with Allsorts where the challenge this week is to use Lots of Yellow; Less is More, where the theme is Borders; Just Add Ink, where we are asked to add something beginning with F and I've gone for Flowers and Friends; and last but not least, Addicted to Stamps and More, where it's a Make Your Mark week.

AND IN OTHER NEWS
Friends make life so much better don't they, and this little space in Blogland where I can connect with my crafting pals is very precious to me.

And talking of precious friendships, I'll leave you with a photo of my favourite pair of besties:

My youngest son and his floofy sister - he was taking photos of a flower and she felt she should help!

Hope you are having a peaceful weekend.

Hugs,
