It always amazes me how differently cards will look just by changing the colors used. I had originally made a card for the ladies to make for our military last month. I used a retired designer print that was Cherry Cobbler which I just love for Christmas. I liked the simplicity of the card so I redid it using current DSP. The difference is almost like day and night, so I thought you'd like to see the two versions. The first card uses the current products and here it is...
Stamps: Bright & Beautiful
Ink: Lost Lagoon
Paper: Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Silver Glitter Paper, with All Is Calm Specialty Designer Paper
Accessories: Big Shot with Stars Framelits, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Glue Dots, and Dimensionals
This version of the card is very frosty and serene with the snowflake printed paper with multiple blues for a background. The star layer of glitter paper in silver adds to the look with extra stars in the glitter paper to accent the whole card. I liked the small stars added to the sentiment strip on the bottom to brighten it up too.
Here's the original card using Cherry Cobbler for the card base and Very Vanilla Champagne Glitter Paper for the accents. This card looks very rich and elegant compared to the other card shown.
All in all, this is a simple card sketch to work with and is very versatile. Just change the images and paper used and you can use this idea for almost any occasion. Hope you give this idea a try. I'm sure you'll find lots of uses for this sketch. Thanks for stopping in today to see what's new. See you soon...... Sharon
