I've got to admit that I let out a little "squeeeeeee" when I saw this awesome sketch by Rita for Freshly Made Sketches. Sometimes a sketch just grabs me and makes me say yay! This is one of those sketches.
First of all I love square cards so that was a given that I would love this card. But add in the rectangle that offers so manly possibilities and the fun little flags peeking from the bottom of the rectangle and I was in heaven. I realized pretty soon after I saw the yellow challenge at Catered Crop that these two challenges would be perfect for each other.
I don't often use yellow, but Catered Crop story board was so bright and inspiring that I wanted to see if I could make something with yellow that I was happy with. I used kraft and black to add some neutrals to the brightness and I love how these colors all look together.
