I decided to make variations of the same card, hence the name "Variations on a Theme". Here is the basic card. I will be entering the first card in the
Stampin For the Weekend for their 3rd year anniversary
Blog Hop and Layers Challenge. I will also enter it in the
Sentiment As Focal Point Challenge hosted by the
Creative Card Crew. As a bonus, I will enter the
Challenge #2 and Travel Stories at
Just Keep On Creating.
I took the same basic elements, used different stamps, and used slightly different layouts.
The elements I used were: white cardstock, a piece of designer paper (all of them used the same paper - some were from one side and some from the other), a piece of Sahara Sand matted with a piece of Cherry Cobbler, a piece of white (with a stamped image) matted with Not Quite Navy, and a sentiment stamped on a punched piece (although one was stamped below the sailboat). Most had a piece of ribbon tied with a "cheaters" bow.
So...have you thought about making many of the "same" card - just making variations? These all turned out so different. I think it's interesting that I didn't choose to make any of these a vertical card. Strange...it would have seemed like such a logical choice!
Great variety, Karin. You're on a roll with these sets!

Beautiful cards. I love the stamps. I dunno how to do good stamps. lol that is a whole new world to me and not ready for it. So i can just admire yours.
ReplyDeleteDont' be shy about trying - it's easier than it looks! Find a friend near you who stamps and work together. Once I started, I was hooked. I started stamping in the mid-90's and still love it!
