Color Hues Challenge #135 - Yellow and Black - A Note from Me to You (Better Press Society Teardrop Mosaic)

Hello, 

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #135 where, as hostess, I'm inviting you to play with hues of YELLOW and BLACK. Think sunflowers, bees, butterflies, bold geometric patterns, stylized florals - and that's just a snippet of the countless ways to show this bold, dramatic combination.  We're excited to see where your creativity takes you!

We're pleased to welcome Barbara Campbell and Diana Karlova as our Guest Designers for this challenge.

I'm slowly making my way through my Spellbinders' Better Press Society plates; for this challenge, the Teardrop Mosaic makes its debut. I glimmered the 'frame' plate with gold and the yellow teardrops with black. The die for the teardrop opens so many possibilities. 


Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our guests and my talented teammates.
Looking forward to seeing how Yellow & Black inspire you.

Thank you for dropping by!
