Colour challenge

This week at Less is More, the challenge is to use colour - opposites on the colour wheel.
I chose turquoise and orange for my opposing colours for my entry card, using masked spongeing plus SU butterfly thinlets and Papillon Potpourri stamps.  The sentiment is by Inspired by Stamping:  Fancy Sentiments

 I am adding the card below to my post, but not my entry, as I don't think it is CAS enough, and it also uses an extra colour - green.  However, the purple and lemon are opposing colours, so it is connected lol!

The pansy is made using Sizzix die by Susan Tierney-Cockburn, and the oval frame is by Lea'bilities.

Thanks for coming by!

    Two fabulous cards Ann - the first one has the edge for me but that's just because I love the orange and blue combo. Beautiful and elegant take on the challenge and thanks as always for playing along.

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
