Hope you're all having a nice weekend wherever you are. We've actually had a sunny day here today although it's still very cold - The saying "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" is certainly going to apply this year!
On to this week's Less is More Challenge which is the colour YELLOW. Not a colour I often use and the only yellowish ink I have is Crushed Olive distress ink, which to me is definitely more yellow than olive!
The stamps are Wendy Vecchi - I stamped the butterfly again onto acetate (which I'd coloured with a yellow promarker) to give the wings more dimension ...
I also make a second card. This one's a bit of fun and I'm submitting it to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, which this week is BIRTHDAYS.
Rummaging through my stuff, looking for something yellow, I came across a bag of feathers. The card base is lemon, the owl is a Stampin Up punch and the sentiment is PC generated.
Thanks for visiting,
Have a great week
Suze xx

Considering the fact you don't use yellow often, you have managed to find some great stuff for these super cards!
Thanks so much

Yeah that is yellow rather than olive to me too! Love how you have done the wings of the butterfly in acetate to, and real cute owl card x
Two fab. cards Suze - love the yellow elements on both of them. The Wendy Vecchi stamp set is a favourite of mine - it's so versatile. The little birdie looks so cute sat on that gorgeous feather! Great work!

Lovely cards Suze. Yellow is a colour I don't use much either, but it looks great here. The weather here is cold and dull, we had 7° today, brrrrrrrr! Hugs, Valerie
They're both great Suze. I love the yellow with the black (not a fan of yellow myself either!)

A hug frm sunny island.
The butterfly is so pretty and I am in love with your jaunty little owl...the feather is a fantastic addition!

Love the dimension you achieved with the butterfly...and that feather on the second card is just as cute as can be! You did a great job with the yellow!
the first card is just lovely, suze!! the but second one is stinkin' adorable!!
I really like your butterfly card. I like the black and yellow together. I wouldn't have thought of that.
The owl card is fun.
If you hadn't told me, I would never have guessed you didn't use yellow on a regular basis.

Both cards are really wonderful, love the owl on the feather.
Love both of them and you made yellow your colour with them for sure.

Both cards are lovely Suze but my favourite has to be the first one. I'm gettting quite a taste for butterflies - don't own many though! - and I love the way you've made it 3D. Love the edging too.

PS thanks for my welcome home too!x
two lovely cards... but the first one is my fave!
Great cards! I adore the owl sitting on the feather - he's my new favourite punch! And the yellow is so striking with the black in the first card.
It has to be at least 75 degrees before I'd even consider casting any of my clothes off! I love your cards Suze but particularly the second one - having that fab owl perch on the feather was a great idea and I love the bright yellow against the lemon. Vicky x
A splash of sunshine is just what we need with this weather. They are both lovely cards. Love the humour of the second. I like the way that you have used the computer to achieve this. Off to have a google for Wendy Vecchi!!
You created amazing cards and so brave to tackle yellow - you can definitely work colour, no doubt about it.
The feather is a cute addition.

Hi Suze, loving your fab cards especially the first one with the beautiful butterfly and quote. x
beautiful cards, love the first one
For someone who doesn't work with yellow you've done a brilliant job! Love the first but second made me giggle......
Your first card is a ray of sunshine. Super sentiment. And Yoo Hoo to your owl too. Fab feather. x
Hi Suze, Love the butterfly card, magic polkas:0) And your little owl is so cute. How sad am I? I'd totally forgotten what the 'clout' meant in that expression, so thanks to Vicky!! I know what your talking about LOL
As you can see from my pic I'm a total slacker, pegs, grass, leave it all, haven't got a care in the world! ROFL Thanks for your visit:0) xx
Two fabulous cards Suze..... Yellow is not a great crafting colour for me either, certainly not in inkpads!
Mr owl certainly looks happy sitting on his feather :0)

Two wonderful yellow cards, Suze! I don't use a lot of yellow either, but you did a fabulous job with it. I especially love the feather for that little owl to perch on! Thanks for helping us celebrate this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
Love both of them... the sentiment on the first is so inspiring and the feather on the second one looks awesome.
