If you have Papertrey Lemon Tart CS. Do you like the color?
Does it go well with the SU colors?
I have never been too happy with SU Barely Banana.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
I have yet to acquire the perfect yellow!! I think the title of Lemon Tart is actually quite accurate! Much brighter than banana, but more yellow than summer sun. The ink, however, is very light.

That yellow color is one of the ones I just got in my first order from Papertrey Ink. I like the color and also have the lighter yellow color mentioned from Stampin' Up. I like both of them equally. I think one is much lighter than the other and they also layer well for me.
As someone else said, they are bright but not blinding.
I am on the fence about buying this color. In Nichole's color comparison, it looks very similar to SU Barely Banana. I want a pale true yellow and BB has more of a brown tint to it, IMO. If those of you with both colors would be so kind as to post comparisons, I would be most grateful.:mrgreen:
Lemon Tart is a soft yellow, but it is yellow. To me, barely bananna is not yellow, lol. Of course, color preferences are all in the eye of the beholder, and even posting color comparisons will be impacted by lighting, camera and the print program you work with- not to mention the skill of the user!
I have tons of cards on my blog using Lemon Tart, and there was a Papertrey Blog Hop last month using 'yellow', so lots of people used Lemon Tart. If you go to the Papertrey Forum and go to Blog Hops, you'll see the listof participants for May- start hopping,a nd maybe you will get a feel for the color- just a thought!
OMG, you sold me! Your cards are gorgeous. The second post with the flower soft is especially helpful in showing the color. I love your blog and added it to my favorites. TFS!
