Opposites Attract

Hi everyone,  It's Wednesday and that means a new challenge at Fab'n'Funky.

Our host this week is Alli and she has a fabulous theme for us....Opposites Attract which means she would like to see you use opposite colours on the colour wheel.

We are sponsored by StampArt by Kathryne and Flonz Stamps

I used a stamp that I received from Flonz Stamps called Gibson Girl 01 and have made a criss-cross card.   Orange and blue are opposite colours on the colour wheel and I chose to use peach & light blue which I think are the pastels of these colours.

The dp is Marianne Design, Victorian Vintage Pretty Papers Bloc.
Marianne Creatable die LR0277 

Base is Bazzill Walnut Cream.

Ecru lace is from WOC as are the flowers

Peach lace is Websters Pages

Blue lace is Recollections

Magnolia tag die

The sentiment insert is cut using SB Curved Borders Two

Peach & blue seam binding was a lovely gift from my friend Helen who is not a cardmaker but knows how to shop for the best embellies.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

1. CanYouDigi it - Vintage
2. Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge #68 - Anything Goes
3. Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes

Baby blue

Good morning folks. Another frosty one here today with rain expected later.

Might just have to catch up on my ironing and perhaps squeeze in a little crafting time.

I've a card to show you that I made for a new baby boy.  It is very similar to a baby girl card I made last year that was a favourite of mine.  I had bought two pads of the Graphic 45 Little Darlings Collection....so I wouldn't freak when I used up these gorgeous papers....yes, I do have a problem :)  But in all honesty this is the only company I buy 2 pads of their collections.. and only if I really, really love the set.  

Spellbinders Grand Labels One used to cut the shape (before my Grand Calibur bit the dust), Spellbinder Antique Frame and Accents dies for the frame and edge.  Ribbons all from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and "Baby" is a Marianne Creatables Die.

I will be entering the following challenges:

• Here Come the Boys Challenge #50
• The Stamping Chef - All Boy Challenge
• Crafty Sentiments Designs  - Monochromatic
• Sweet Stamps - Use 3 of anything (ribbons)
• Party Time Tuesday #117 - Tic Tac Toe (shaped card, pearls, die cuts)
• Amusing Challenges - Monochromatic

Thanks so much for stopping by,
