One Card - Two Colors

Today I am going to show you how color can make a difference on your cards.  I have the exact same card, but made with two completely different color pallets. 

The first card is a soft blue and silver/gray.  The blue is Pool Party.  When you look at this card, what do the colors convey to you?  Cold like winter?  Elegance?

(This is CASE-d from a card I saw somewhere on-line.  I'm sorry but I don't recall who originally made this.  If it's you, please let me know so I can give you proper credit.)

 

The second card is the exact same layout, but this one is red and green.  Does this give you a different feeling than the first card?

Did you notice that I used the negative image from the Expressions Thinlits dies?  I'll be posting some more ideas using the "positive" image from those dies so you can tell the difference.
SUPPLIES:
Stamps:  Sweet Essentials or Greetings of the Season
Card Stock:  Shimmery White; Silver Glimmer Paper or Red Glimmer Paper
Paper:  Winter Frost DSP or Season of Style DSP
Ink:  Smoky Slate or Old Olive
Ribbon:  Silver 1/8" Ribbon or Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon
Accessories:  Expressions Thinlits Dies; Bitty Banners Framelits or Extra Large Oval Punch; sponges; Dimensionals.

It's amazing what changing the color of a card can do.  Next time you make a card you like, try making the same one in a different color pallet.  And let me know how your experiment goes.  I'd love to see what you create!

Until next time...

HAPPY STAMPING!
