Hi everyone and happy Thursday :-)
It's raining cats and dogs over here (of course.. I have this week off.. the weeks before the weather was great and now that I'm at home... it rains *lol*).... so more time to be creative ;-)
I thought it would be fun to go a bit out of my comfort zone and try a color combo I normally don't like that much... one with yellow! I always struggle with using yellow on my cards. But I love this paper from MME so much, that I desperately wanted to use it *giggle*
So here's my card - hope you like it!

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Donnerstag :-)
Hier regnet's in Strömen (ist ja klar, ich hab' nämlich diese Woche Urlaub.. die Wochen zuvor hatten wir das schönste Wetter und nun wo ich zu Hause bin.. regnet es *lol*)... also hab' ich mehr Zeit um kreativ zu sein ;-)
Ich dachte es wäre mal nett sich ein wenig außerhalb der eigenen Komfortzone zu bewegen und eine Farbkombi zu benutzen, die ich normalerweise nicht wirklich mag... nämlich eine mit gelb! Ich hab' immer große Problem wenn ich gelb auf meinen Karten verarbeiten soll. Aber ich finde dieses Papier von MME einfach so wunderbar, das ich es unbedingt benutzen wollte *giggel*
Hier ist also meine Karte - ich hoffe sie gefällt Euch!
