Cuttlebug Challenge #15

This is the first challenge that I've ever done! I've been following the Cuttlebug Challenge blog for a while and decided to jump on in. This was based on a sketch from Becky Fleck's PageMaps book.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my card!



I used the 2x2 Woman and Man Cuttlebug dies for the front. The man die I actually cut out of the front of card and then backed it with the blue cardstock. I used the swiss dots and scroll embossing folders on the hearts inside my card. And my circle Nestabilities for the front. The "Now and Forever" stamp is a Studio G. The cardstock is "Black Magic" Core'dinations. And the white stars are American Crafts chipboard.

And sorry the lightening isn't better for the pictures. It is overcast and snowy here today. And it is suppose to stay gloomy here for the next 3 days, so I don't think I'm going to get a sunny day to take a picture before the challenge deadline.

I really love this card! The colors are perfect on it. I love the pink girl and blue guy on the front. Oh - and the inside is pretty cute too! I will have to check out the challenges over there - I've never seen them before. Oh - and I hope your scraproom looks like mine now that we have both been scrapping today. LOL (Mine is a total disaster right now! haha)

I luv the card I think it's great, I never heard of funkeys before and I needed a game for my dd, but I got to thinking all the issues you have to go thru to get them to work.
Going to explore to see what else is out there..
