Yellow makes me happy!
Posted by Michelle on June 29th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Almost every girl I know when asked what their favorite color is says either pink or purple. My favorite color is purple and my daughter’s goes between pink and purple depending on her mood. But rarely do I hear a girl say anything other than those 2 colors. As I was putting this card together – I did it when I was home sick last week – I felt myself getting happier and happier and feelin’ it more and more. And I think it’s because yellow is such a happy color – happy, bright, cheery. This isn’t any ordinary yellow cardstock though, this is Metallic Gold from Paper Temptress. I just love the little flecks of shimmer in this paper.
I also used some of Paper Temptress’ new Ruche paper. Oh my land is this fantastic paper. I’ve taken a close-up shot here for you so that you can see the texture in this paper. It’s like a cross between crepe paper and papyrus (yes, I work with papyrus all the time so I know – not – LOL). I’ve got the Green Crepe here from the Ruche line and it’s one of those papers that really grounds you and gets you caught in the moment that you are creating with paper – really extraordinary paper.
Hope your week starts off super fab!

While purple is also my favorite color, I see what you mean about the yellow. It is a bright and happy color!

Love this card. ;P
While purple is also my favorite color, I AM a big fan of yellow, esp. my yellow Crocs.
That papyrusesque paper is terrific.

My daughter has loved pink her whole 5-year-old life. About 2 weeks ago she declared that yellow is now her favorite color 😉 So funny. I do love how cheery your card is.

You are so right! I love how the yellow makes the card so cheery. The green compliments the yellow so good.
