Opposite/Same

The next challenge in the group was to either do the same layout but opposite themes or same stamp opposite theme.  I went with using the same stamp but opposite themes, Sympathy and Birthday.  I never have sympathy cards on hand and it would be nice to have one so I can get it out right away.


This die cuts out the middle section so I popped up the stamp with foam and left the frame glued to my card base. The sentiments are also with this stamp set.

Paper Artist - 4 Lacy Rectangle frames
Basic Grey - Periphery paper

Next was my birthday card.  I tried to match the colors in my paper with the rose but it doesn't show well in the picture. I fussy cut this one.

I love when card makers do several cards using the same stamp - it's always so fun to see how they turn out. Yours are absolutely beautiful! I especially like the blues/greens of the sympathy card and that lacy border!

Good job, Connie. The cards are similar but so different! I especially love the first one with the lacy background and soft blue rose.

Gosh, Connie, that's a really pretty stamp set with the image and sentiments! I don't think I've ever even looked at Hot Off the Press stamps, but I love this. You did a great job with your challenge. It reminds me of the Twofer challenge. Your layouts are completely different and both cards are awesome.
