Let's Reflect!

The Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge is called Let's Reflect! That means that you take a card you made last year and create a do-over of it. So using the same stamp set I re-created my card with different colors but with the same images. Below is my do-over design.



And below this card I made today is the one I did last year using the same Gina K. Design stamp set called Sparkling Snowflakes. I think in my opinion I like the black and white version better.


This year's model has a layer with the design die cut with a Maker's Movement stitched rectangle die. It was placed on a royal blue card stock base and then royal blue gems were also added to it.

But I really love all of these gorgeous snowflake stamps and when this challenge came up I knew this was the card I wanted to work with. I hope you like my new version too.

Take care and God bless,
Verna

Verna both cards are lovely, but I prefer the new version - the blue really appeals to me, and the snowflakes look softer on the blue

Both cards turned out great, but the do-over added a lot of interest with the pretty blue colors ! Well done!

I like both cards and while the blue version gives a frosty snowy look, the black and white version is so different and really makes the snowflakes pop. Great take on the challenge.

Black and white cards are very special, but I usually like to live in color. I love your new version very much!

They're both awesome! I do like the more realistic look of your do-over, however the black and white version is very striking!

It's hard to choose between the two colours! I think I like the blue card a little more. Both are so pretty. I have that stamp set, and it is one of my favourites!

I so enjoy snowflakes on a card! We're actually getting some real snowflakes outside today - so I'm inside hehe. Love your gorgeous card! Great sentiment too!

Both versions are fabulous but the black and white one is extra eye catching x. The sentiment on the blue card is wonderful x.

Both versions are great! The blue looks so "cool" and wintery, and the black and white has an elegant feel to it. It's so fun to see how a different color can change the whole feel of a card.

Wow! The blues are gorgeous! I remember the black and white card. I think I pinned it because I loved it so much. Both are beautiful!

Donna Ellis said...

I cannot decide which I prefer, Verna! The black and white looks very elegant, but the blue is so eye catching and lively! I especially like the sentiment with your blue beauty! hugs, de

Love them both Verna! The black one does stand out though!

TK said...

Both are beautiful, Verna, although I prefer the b&w one just because of the stark boldness. The blue details are very pretty too
