C4C419 Opposites

Good morning friends

It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Our hostess is Frances Byrne, and our Guest Designer is  Elena Anderson . This is Frances' challenge:  Did you know that the 25th January is Opposite Day ... For our challenge this week make a card/project that has opposites on it. Think opposite colors, on the color wheel, stripes and polka dots, black and white, mirror image, etc.

I almost didn't have time to make a card for this week. Usually I'm able to work ahead but with travel and houseguests - this one almost got away from me. I really get a lot of use out of my Blueprints dies from MFT Stamps, so pulled out Blueprints #29 for my card today.

I started out with the white hearts on a red background, and the red hearts on a white background for the OPPOSITE part of the challenge. Then I went with other patterned paper in the stack to finish off the card.



Here is a peek at the inside - unfortunately the water colour bled a little. It was too late at night and the lighting wasn't good - I should have left it til the morning. Ahh well. These things happen.



While I had everything out, I went ahead and used the same Blueprints die set and some different patterned papers and stickers from my stash to make a second Valentine.



I popped the stickers up on foam tape, and went over portions with a glaze pen so they are raised and shiny.


The inside features a 'cut apart' from the same paper stack, and a butterfly sticker ...



... which has foil accents on it. The heart above the Happy is also foiled.



Finally, here is a look at the two Valentine's side by side.
