Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend??? We went a little shopping over the weekend, relaxed big time and enjoyed a nice luncheon with our extended family! I'm so excited...I have only two more days to work...yeah!!!
Since it's Tuesday again, how about a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC148??? Maki is our hostess this week and she has challenged us to a fun theme ~ *OPPOSITES ATTRACT*. Use the same image and make two cards/projects with two totally different looks, style themes or colors. For example, you can make CAS and lots of layers, feminine and masculine, monochromatic and lots of colors, for a child and adult, for birthday and sympathy, etc. Have fun crafting!!!
Here is my idea.....I started out with a *combo* look....
Here is my first card.....
I used a very simple CAS design first. My cards feature the beautiful Dove and Holly Set. The sentiment is from a retired Set. I basically just stamped the image with Memento Black and colored it with these Copic Markers ~ C0, C1, C2, C3, YG11, G21, G24, R14, R27 and Colorless Blender. Next I added the Black/White Gingham Ribbon and an SU Antique Brad...voila!
Here is my second design....
The opposites on this card are the *square and circle* shapes vs. the *rectangle* look from the first design. I also added some different elements like the punched out MS Border on the side, some *scoring*, the Striped Ribbon with the matching Button plus the Silver Cord, the Silver Pearls and of course the colors are a bit different as well. The leaves were also colored in different color *greens*. I used the Copic's ~ YG93 and Y67. The punched out sentiment is also different ...it's from the Holiday Greetings Set. Hope you like my two different approaches :) !?!?
Now it's your turn!!! Don't forget to check out the rest of the team ~ Cindy, Maki, Heather, Tammy, Beate, Mona and our December Guest Designer Theresa Pollack.
Thank you so much for swinging by my blog....have a great week!!!
Hugs, ~Silke~
