I just love challenges that, well, challenge me. At Frilly and Funkie the brief is to do something or use something that you find challenging.
For me it's the color yellow. I like to use many other colors but not yellow.
So I used it, and found out it needs rather strong colors as counterparts, but even when combined with a riot of colors it still manages to hold its own.
All leaves are cut from papers that I first made with a gelli plate. I used acrylics and printed paper as my substrate. I find the print gives the color a nice structure. The flax twine is from my knitting stash, it miraculously matched the color of the yellow twig and brings a whole other dimension to the mix.
The sentiment was stamped and then heat embossed.
