JustRite Friday Challenge #079: Opposites Attract

For this totally FUN JustRite challenge based upon the color wheel, I chose to work with orange/blue greens for my 'opposites attract'/complimentary colors' card.
Beginning with JustRite's Botanical Medallions & Banners stamp set I colored the poppy image with Copics, distressed with Antique Linen distress ink, framed with Spellbinders' Floral ovals and accented with pearls. The focal image was then mounted onto the medallion stamped in orange and die cut with JustRite's exclusive Nested Oval Medallion Dies. I then stamped JustRite's Merry Christmas background stamp onto aqua blue paper from Authentique's Gathering line, highlighted the lace with Copics and distressed it. I hand cut out the center Christmas words since I don't yet have the Spellbinders' Card Creator dies that coordinate with this BG stamp, but they're definitely on my Wish List!
A brad from my stash that I thought was the perfect touch!
Finishing off this card is my sentiment (also from Botanical Medallions), a seam binding crinkly bow hand colored with Copic inks and accented with a brad from My Minds Eye and a couple fabulous gem swirls from Want2Scrap.
If you get a chance to make an Opposites Attract card, you still have until tomorrow to post it at JustRite's Friday Challenge!
