2017 Pantone card challenge - March

Morning everyone!

I'm popping in from my work-related exile from crafting/blogging to share this month's prompt for the 2017 Pantone card challenge. :D

It's definitely a "spring is in the air" colour: Primrose Yellow.

Here's the prompt I found as additional inspiration:

As you can see in the above, the yellow tones have been wonderfully combined with neutral tones of white and light grey and even a little off white.

There are lots of little details that could be incorporated into your cards along with focussing on doing Primrose Yellow justice.

Go all out with the Easter/Spring theme, there are even little daffodils in the photo
The curvy lines of the bedside table could be expressed with fancy frame die
The airy look of the bedding would make a great type of background with a pop of yellow here and there for good measure
The flying birdies are very pretty
Got to love that floral wallpaper - perhaps you have a similar pattern that would work even if it's not yellow. Remember your card doesn't have to be all yellow, you can mix it with other shades or have it as a contrasting burst of colour against others.
The circular mirror with the flowers at the top would make a great aperture for your card
The layout of the shelves could translate well to a card, you could have a contrasting strip at the top of your card and the rest of the design below it.
The lampshade looks pleated - how about pleating paper or trim on your project?

I hope those ideas have got you thinking! :)

I'm afraid I'm going to be awol from blogging and crafting for a fair bit longer while I'm busy with my long work days and weekends.

Here's hoping I get to play with my lovely new Easter/Spring stash in time for this Easter!

Happy crafting!
