Well, at last here is the post for this month's prompt.

Lots of scope for different techniques, but also thinking outside of the box with some of the elements you see.

The focus colour for July is: Yellow

The Pin-spiration is....

I look forward to seeing how you interpret it - remember I've listed a few tips over on the blog post for this month.

Past prompts will all be tagged under 2021 card challenge on my blog so you can find them easily in one place.

Also for those of you on Instagram, I'll be using the hashtag #2021handmadecardchallenge to share my projects there, so feel free to use this tag on Instagram as well!

Points for this challenge:
This challenge scores you 20 points.

As with all the other UKS challenges you can only claim this once a month.

So all that remains for me to say is: Happy crafting!

Fabulous colours Nat, love the mix of yellow, blues and greens. I hope I can make something this month away from the boring norm.

I should manage that! Unfortunately the blokey card I have to do is for my brother who hates football, so I may make one for the future (our team play in yellow and green)
Here we are- totally non football related;

Thank you Nat.. Here’s one from me.
I’ve used yellow and butterfly. The sentiment says Thinking of you, but you can’t see
It for the reflection.

Here are my offerings for the prompt from a recent card assembly session.

They all feature yellow inked backgrounds that incorporate painterly effects, some with a splatter stamp, there are a few nods to the colour combos in the prompt image, the sentiment is a typewriter font, and the pot plant has been interpreted as a bouquet in a mason jar.

Very pretty Nat - and unusual too.

Here are mine. I used a retired stamp from Stampin Up and coloured it with watercolour paint then added the sentiments.
