Life is about opposites... up and down, good and bad, right and wrong, etc. So, this will be my concept this week. Two cards have been created using the same rubber stamp - Alota 'Girl with Doll'. Card 1 is about happiness, while Card 2 portrays sadness/illness. Come on and let's explore...

Card 1

This card had a black contrast background, subsequently accentuated with 'Nonsense - Jingle-Jangle Paper' from We R Memory Keepers (White Out Collection). Then embroidery threads (DMC 819 - light baby pink and DMC 899 - medium rose) were knotted at 2/3 of the card height. Alota, stamped on white card stock and pencil-coloured in warm tones, was then stuck on. She was also showing some sign of distressed by using Distress Ink 'Old Paper'. This was done to complement the 'White Out Collection' used. The finishing touches included multi-colour gemstones (by Anita's) on opposite corners and the sentiment 'Wishing you every happiness' adhered with 3D foam stickers. The sentiment was stamped using Heartfelt Basics (by Papertrey Ink) onto shiny card stock in Memento inks.

 Card 2

'Sweet Floral' (by Colorbok) and 'Scattered Clouds' (by We R Memory Keepers - 72 & Sunny Collection) were used as backgrounds. The 'Scattered Clouds' was trimmed with 'Pointy #1 Frame' (by Go Kreate). Alota, stamped onto scalloped white card stock and pencil-coloured in cooler shades, was then stuck on. The card was then finished with yellow satin ribbon (by Dovecraft), grey clouds (adhered using 3D foam stickers) and sentiment 'Hope you are feeling better' (by Papertrey Ink - 'Everday Button Bits').

So, what do you think? Opposites or not? :)
