I'm guest designing over at Inkspirational
where the theme for this fortnight is "Anything Goes". I wanted to do
something I haven't done before and what I love to see in others blog
posts - to use the same design and materials, but creating different
looks by changing colors and DPs.My cards have the same layout, the same stamped image - a bunny from Lily of the Valley - the same oval dies have been used to make the panels for the Christmas sentiment (in Norwegian). The bunnies have been fussy cut and popped on foam.
I
started making the card in black and grey, being inspired by the
combination of spots and lines and untraditional Christmas colors. The
bunny has a paper pieced pyjamas. This DP and the one used for the top
panel are from Authentique, the one with spots is from Echo Park. The
sentiment is heat embossed in black and is placed onto a piece of die
cut silver glitter paper.For my second card I colored the whole image and chose traditional red and white and a little bit of brown. The DP on top is covered with Christmas sentiments in Norwegian, the bottom one is covered with poinsettias - this DP is from Pion.
I really enjoyed making these two cards and I'm pleased with my first attempt of making 2 cards with the same design. I think they turned out quite different. I think my favorite one is the black and grey one, but hubby's favorite is the traditional one. Which one's your favorite? I'd love to hear your feedback!
These cards are also for these challenges:
1) Charisma Cardz - Christmas

3) Crafty Cardmakers - Paper Piecing (grey pyjamas)

Two beautiful cards and what fun to make them twice but different!
My fave is the second but not because it has colour...just because I love the Norwegian word DP!!!
These are gorgeous Pia. The image is adorable and I love the papers and layouts. It really is interesting to see how different a card looks just by changing the colours.

Two fabulous cards Pia, I love your adorable image and it's nice to see the two colour combinations, I think I prefer the red one - I'm a bit of a traditionalist, but they are both lovely.

Beautiful Pia! Your layering is always immaculate. Both super cards, I do love this little LOTV stamp, so sweet! xx
Ooh these are gorgeous Pia!! I honestly love both the colour combos… it's amazing how different they look !! I love how you've fussy cut the image - that must have been quite tricky as it's intricate stamp!! but well worth the effort as they look fab!!
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

That's a tricky question, PIa. I LOVE both cards...maybe the traditional one a little more. Just a teeny tiny bit more. Your first attempt is a monumental success. I've tempted to give it a go myself...one day!

Great cards Pia. Even though they are the same layout they look very different once you change the colours. It's great having you join us as GDT at Inkspirational.

Great idea Pia! I love them both but I especially love the red text paper on the second one. Thank you so much for joining us as Guest Designer at Inkspirational. Marina
Pia, That is always fun to do.. both cards turned out so nice. Your bunny is so cute but I think the colored one I like best it is more festive.
