Guuult er kuuult!

I just had to have this title in norwegian :o) In english it means something like "Yellow is so cool"!
I was suppose to finish and post this card yeasterday evening, as I promised a good friend of mine... I'm really sorry Maya (she's probably been checking my blog ten times last night ;), but here's the story:
Hard day at work yeasterday - when I came home from work, and had made dinner and eat it, I was so tired, that I decided to rest for an hour...
Well, I fell a sleep about 7 pm last night, and woke up at 6 am this morning!!! *tji-hi* So I finished my card this morning, and here's my first yellow card ever (and probably not the last ;):






Some weeks ago, Maya challenged me to make a yellow card. I'm a bit slow, so when we where at the Scraporama Fair, Maya had bought me some yellow patterened paper, and yellow and orange ribbons, just to get me started ;) Thank you so much, sweetie - I've used the patterened paper and the orange ribbon on this card - honouring you Maya! I even got the cute stamped image from her!
The card is also made for this week's Sugar Bowl Challenge #7, where the theme is spring or easter - and I feel this card is a little bit of both (and probably the closest to an eastercard I'll ever gonna make:)! And I made the card after the Sketch #52 at "Kortskissen" Card Challengeblog.

Size: 15 x 15 cm
Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee and Black, Distress Ink - Tea Dye, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo and Fired Brick.
