The long weekend was great! I got to finish preparations for work, have half a day in the garden, see some friends and make three cards and two cakes too! I wanted to join in with Less is more where the challenge was to use yellow. I had been meaning to try the sun rays technique that I saw used by Glenda Waterworth some time ago and came up with this:
I hope that is enough white space for you ladies.
I couldn't let my mask go to waste so I used it again! This time I coloured the stamp with distress markers in wild honey and peeled paint. I used the same colours as last time for the rays, but added a bit of Brushed corduroy to the yellow soil. Not strictly yellow, and no white space so not really eligible, but I thought I'd show you anyway!

You certainly made brilliant use of the long weekend, Sally, these are stunning.I love the sun rays, very art deco. They work brilliantly with the grass stamps don't they!!
Your B&W card is beautiful too, very elegant.

Lovely, Sally. That was one of my fave techniques once upon a time - haven't used it for ages so must have another go. Love the second one. Have a good week x

Three stunning cards Sal, I imagine you know the first or possibly the second is my fav, those sun rays are awesome.
And I think you have a confession to make ? Lemonade distress ink ?

Striking - all of them but I have to admit the middle one with the green grass is my favourite. I've not tried that masking yet but I'm looking forward to doing so. Love the addition of the brown to the whole too.
