Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  For the next few weeks, our themes will feature songs that have color names in their title!  This week’s song is “Mellow Yellow” by Donovan.  Our cards will have a shade of yellow theme!

TRANSLUCENT FLORALS

I used two shades of yellow on my card…I was shocked how much darker Daffodil Delight is compared to Lemon Lolly!  I guess I hadn’t put the two of them together before now!  I also used my new Wanted to Say Dies…LOVE them!  Hope they come out with a Christmas edition…wouldn’t that be fun with Let it Snow, Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, Peace on Earth, Silent Night…I could go on and on!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Translucent Florals leaf branch several times using Gray Granite Ink along the left side.
• The small flower bud in Translucent Florals stamp set was stamped four times with Lemon Lolly Ink and three times with Daffodil Delight Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Translucent Florals Dies.  They were added to the leaves with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Feel Better Soon from Wanted To Say Dies was cut from Lemon Lolly cardstock and the shadow from Gray Granite cardstock.  I love how the gray really does look like a shadow!  It was popped up with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Some yellow Adhesive Backed Solid Gems were added to the background for a little bling.

Wouldn’t this card just cheer anyone up if they weren’t feeling well?  I think so!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
