Frilly and Funkie Challenge - Wedding White plus a Color
Hello and welcome to another Frilly and Funkie challenge! This time our host is Rebecca. Rebecca wants us to create a card or project with a wedding theme that uses white plus an additional color.
When I think of weddings I always think of verse 13 from 1 Corinthians, chapter 13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
I used that verse as the basis of my card. The color I added is Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac. I started with a white card base and randomly applied glue stick to the front of the card. I crinkled a piece of Melange tissue wrap and pressed it to the glued areas. Then I used the ink blending tool to add my color.
The corrugated cardboard piece came from the packaging in my recent order from The Funkie Junkie Boutique! I coated it, along with some hearts die cut from grunge paper, with Distress Crackle Paint in Picket Fence. Once dry I added shaded lilac distress ink to the corrugated cardboard piece. I applied shaded lilac distress stain to the hearts and wiped away the extra. Next I cut two pieces of white cardstock with the On the Edge Distressed Doily die .
All that was left was to assemble the pieces! I attached the two doily die cuts to the back of the cardboard and glued that to the front of the card. I wrapped that with a piece of white paper string. Then glued down the hearts on top of that. The ribbon flowers were cut from a piece of Idea-ology trimmings. Then I added the chit chat stickers. Done!
I hope you like my card and that you'll play along with us on this challenge. If you do, you might be the lucky winner of the $25 gift certificate to The Funkie Junkie Boutique!!
The following items that I used on my project can be found at The Funkie Junkie Boutique! The boutique offers it's merchandise at up to a 20% discount from the typical retail price! That's a great deal and you should check it out!!

Frilly and Funkie Challenge - There Is No Time to Waste
Hello and welcome to another Frilly and Funkie challenge! Our host this week is Trace and she says "There is no time to waste"!! Now isn't that the truth?! I sure wish I could get a few more hours in every day. For this challenge Trace wants to see your time inspired pieces. To qualify you need only to include a clock, watch or other timepiece in your creation.
I turned to the internet for inspiration and when I found this quote from Rabindranath Tagore I knew exactly what I wanted to make...
I covered my chipboard with paper from one of Tim's paper stash pads. Then I used Tim's new Movers and Shapers Arch die and the sized arches to cut two panels. The panels are joined with a small piece of the same paper, doubled for strength, that was glued to each panel between the back and front piece.
The flowers and leaves were from grungepaper, embossed with texture fade folders and painted with distress paints. I spritzed them with water to blend the paint and then gently dried them with my heat tool. I used some Idea-ology custom fasteners in the center of each flower choosing clock images for both. I attempted to make 'dew' on the flowers and leaves but that didn't work out very well! I used Ranger glossy accents to create dewdrops and when I got up the next morning I found that the dew drops had absorbed some color so they don't look very 'dewey'!! I added the butterfly, colored with distress ink and some curled rusty wire with pearls.

Just for extra measure I used clock images on the back side of the arched panels, too!
I hope you like my project and those of my other DT mates! We'd love for you to take some TIME to create your own time-inspired piece and play along with us on this challenge!
