Switch it up Saturday #3

Hello again, I'm back with my 3rd offering for my Switch it up Saturday personal prompt.

This time I took one of my old old cards and changed the orientation. I kept the same shape for the main focal element but I made it a bit more manly by using muted colours and an image from the Wetlands set by Stamping' Up! Some ink blending and of course some twine and the card was called done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Here is my Switched up version

Switch it up Saturday #2

Hello again.

I'm back with the second Switch it up Saturday personal promo/challenge.

For this card I dug out a pic of one of the first cards I ever made. I had quite limited supplies back then and I hadn't even discovered stamping yet, I had to print out sentiments from my computer!

This is my re-make

And this is the original

As you can see I stuck to the layout fairly closely, this time I used the cute hedgehog from, you guessed it Clearly Besotted, and coloured him/her with my Prismacolor Pencils. I white heat embossed the sentiment, mounted it all on some stripy paper from Lawn Fawn and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Switch it up Saturday #1

Hi there.

Today I have the first card for my Switch it up Saturday personal challenge. The behind it is to take a card that I made ages ago, use it as inspiration and re-work it. To kick this challenge off I thought it logical to remake the very first card I posted here on this blog.

Here is my 'Switched Up' version

And here is the original

I mainly took inspiration from the layout. I changed the main focal shape to a circle, simplified the background a bit by not having as many layers and added some twine. The supplies all came from a Stampin' Up! card kit, I got it because I fell in love with the tin it all came in, the cards inside that you make up were nice but, me being me I had to go a bit off-piste with some of them. I also had a load of bits left over (I cut the pattern card bases in half to make the most of them) so I could make up a few extra cards as well.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx
