Same Stamps, Two Looks

Happy Sunday to you! I was able to get out to my craft room again today. Yippee!  I had so many cards I wanted to try but only two came into fruition. The girls were a little needy while we were in my room and, let's face it, I'm a slow creator!  But what I liked the most about what I made today is the fact that I used the same stamp set for both cards, but by using different colors, the look and feel is completely different.

First up is a fun primary colored card that was inspired by this one on the Verve Visual blog. It looks a little crooked, but it's the stripes. I didn't think it was as obvious as it looks in the picture. May have to use some Un-Do and fix that. LOL  I used my markers...mostly Sharpies on this. Kathi, I think you are right...this coloring can become addicting. (hee, hee) That striped paper is part of a paper deck I bought at Target. It's by Marcella by K and called Birthday Mat Deck. It's nice because one side is a pattern and the other side is a coordinating solid. The stamp set is called Grateful Elegance. I added the flowers in a way to add some dimension. The red one has a pop dot, the blue has some foam tape and the yellow is just adhered. The centers are jewels I found at Hobby Lobby in the bead/jewelry section.

Next up, is my version of this card found on the Verve blog. I used the same stamp set with Cocoa, Chocolate, Colonial White, and Baby Pink cardstock colors. I used Hollyhock and Cocoa ink (all CTMH). The border was punched using a Martha Stewart punch. The pearls are from Hobby Lobby. I'm pretty sure that ribbon is from Michaels.

That does it for me today.  I signed up for a class called Type + Writer on Jessica Sprague and it starts tomorrow and runs for two weeks. I'll bet I just might have some digi layouts to share during the course of this class. Ü

Til next time, thanks for visiting!
