A yellow layout

Yellow is not a colour I use often, but I seem to have quite a lot of it in my stash so these pictures of M making her Brownie Promise (on the climbing wall) seemed as good a reason as any to use up some of it.

 

I started with brown cardstock and layered a piece of handmade cream/yellow paper on it for the background.

 

Then I found the butterfly-embossed Core'dinations cardstock and that gave me my theme. I didn't have any Brownie- or climbing-specific embellishments anyway and I wanted to keep it girly to match M's personality.

 

I enhanced the large butterflies with a bit of sanding and chalk colours then punched out some small ones from a very old Papermania pad called Spring Life. I like the punches of lime green to brighten the colour scheme.

 

I'm not sure about the title  - it's a bit contrived- but I could spell it with the woodgrain Thickers I had left. A narrow strip of lace makes it more feminine and an adhesive pearl makes the date on the calendar strip (which was cut from the remains of last year's Christmas papers)
