Colour challenge at MMM

Hello to all of my visitors, once again it is my time to choose the topic for Make My Monday, I am still going for a Colour challenge, this week it is Green and Yellow. These two colours so much represent spring for me, this past week or so it has actually felt like spring in the North East of England. 



I first decided to stamp onto a previously prepared backing sheet from the day I spent a while playing with Shaving Foam (Cream), making lots of colourful sheets of paper. More details can be found on You Tube, go on give it a try, it's great fun. I used stamps from a Paperartsy set - Flora and Fauna Set 3. Once cut out , some needed a little extra colour of Promarkers, green and yellow of course. I stamped directly onto the white card using the leaves stamp and DI Peeled Paint, which was coloured in with two shades of green. 
All pieces attached to the page, with a happy Anniversary greeting completed the card. Being a crafter, I don't like to waste even small pieces of card, especially if I have made them, so why don't you pop back on Wednesday for my Inspirational Card to see how I got the most from  the remains of one A5 piece of card.

An Old Button

Use it up Tuesdays is a lovely challenge blog, which I would join in more often if I had more time, don't we all say that at least once a day?  their main principle is, as it says, Use it up, we all have stash lying around forever. Well, this week they are going further and have asked us to use up TWO old  items from our stash. Oh! that could have been painful. I have managed though, my two old items are the beautiful old button from my button box, passed on from my mother,  along with the organza ribbon, from my ribbon box. I have some more recent touches, the Paris stamp and the Fran-tage, both from Stampendous.
I am also entering this card into Make It Mondays - Anything Goes,
