Same but different #4

Good morning everyone,

because of Christmas just around the corner my sweet friend Francine and I decided to post the fourth «Same but different» challenge a bit earlier this month. Do you want to know more about our challenge? Please click HERE.

Here is the stamp set we used this time – «Willkommen Weihnacht» (engl. version: «Wondrous Wreath») from Stampin' Up!

And this is my take – of course I had to create another Christmas card ;o)

I've chosen a more purplish/berry red instead of the traditional one. For stamping the wreath I used inks from three different manufacturers: «Beanstalk Green» (Simon Says Stamp), «Gumball Green» (Stampin' Up!) and «Purple Rain» (Studio Calico). Then I stamped the bow in VersaMark and heat embossed it with «Liquid Platinum» embossing powder by Ranger. I die-cut the bow and the wreath with the coordinating Framelits Dies and adhered them with foam pads to SU's «Natural White» Cardstock. The diagonally striped DP in the background is also from SU (the «Blackberry Bliss» and the «Purple Rain» go really well together). Finally I stamped the sentiment and added two tiny hearts.

If you have the same stamp set and get inspired by our challenge, feel free to play it with us! Leave a direct link to your project in the comment field below (No back links, please! It will be funnier to see new creations!). You can also upload your cards to our Same but different challenge Flickr gallery!

Now hop over to Francine to see her awesome creation.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
