Today's cards are part of several challenges, but also one of my own. I wanted to see how many different looks I achieve in a single crafting session using the same image and the same sketch, with similar colors and the same technique for coloring the image.
My cards today work with the Card Patterns Sketch #148 and Impression Obsession's "Impression Obsession - Oldies but Goodies" challenge. The Sketch has 4 panels in the background, which are varied in each of my cards. (Thanks, Tracy, for a great sketch! First is a staggered look on pale ivory background - sorry for the crooked photo.
Next is a dark olive background, using the panels as shown in the sketch.
Our Florida Stampers Group has a different challenge going to use something "virginal" in our cards.
For my cards, this consists of:
- K and Company designer paper
- DCWV "Pocket full of Posies" DP
- Impression Obsession's Butterfly Round stamp
- cute blue ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbons
- Bamboo Leaf Memento Ink
Images were all watercolored.
My pink card has changed the panels into shapes, and the sketch has been placed vertically.
Thanks very much for stopping by. I'd love hearing your comments, especially about old items in your crafting stash.

Boy, Donna, I am with Brenda! I am glad you had to pick for the challenge post because I couldn't have! They are all stunning and lovely to boot! Each so unique. I love that you shared about your aunt's rick rack. How fun and the price is sinful!! Thanks so much for playing and good luck in the drawing too, lady!
Thanks so much for playing along with "Sew Many Challenges". Your card is beautiful.
Wow Donna ! Your cards are gorgeous ! Love them all ! The colours & details are wonderful. The Image is awesome !
I don't have any inheritated goodies in my stash, but I have beautiful papers for folding that I don't get a chance to do much these days... I figure I have a 25 year supply ! Good Luck in the draw !
Donna, what awesome cards!! I love how you did all the different looks with the same stamps and sketch. Each look is so pretty and love the ric rac find.
Donna, you've been a busy little girl. Your cards are so beautiful. Love all the designs. You make it hard to choose because they are all so stunning!!My fav is the 2nd card.
Yeah, I always say the oldies are the best! What beautiful creations you have come up with, using all your old stash! I love the image you began with too Donna, and you colored each one so beautifully! Love the way you worked in the sketch too! Genius!

Gosh, what gorgeous butterflies, Donna! Wait, I'm going to put on my DT hat for a minute -- How wonderful to see you playing along with us at Lexi's Creations, my friend! :-D Such different results with the various techniques but each of them is beautiful. Old stuff in our stashes -- when my mom passed away many years ago, I found several boxes of fabric and trims she has hoarded and I, too, have rick rack and seam binding packages priced at .15 & .17 cents!! I have used most of the fabrics in quilts I've made over the years since they were all 100% cotton.
Such beautiful cards the work and detail in them is amazing. Thanks for joining us at Lexi's Creations for our challenge hugs Susan x

What can I say De but Wow - Wow - Wow!! Your coloring and choice of colors - just Gorgeous!! I don't even know which one I like best! And I love your challenge to yourself to see the same design in different looks. Not too often do we get to do that. Just beautiful cards & great post De!
Wow very bright!! Thank you for playing along at Incy Wincy Designs his week x
Magnificent cards! All of them are very beautiful. The first card as hot summer day, the second variant is similar to a frost pattern at my window.Last card reminds me about summer night behind a window and the butterfly who has arrived on light of a candle...
Hi Donna, thanks for your kind comment on my blog! Your card is also an eye catcher but I did not leave a reaction yet! So now I will, love those vibrant colours and your colouring and of course the designs of Leigh Hannan are one my fav's of the IO collection.
creative greet and good luck in the drawing, Miranda
Your card is beautiful. I love how your image looks like a stained glass window. Thanks for joining us at Party Time Tuesdays. See you again soon.

Wow! These are gorgeous creations and all of them totatlly different. You have been busy! I don't think I could pick just one -- they are all totally unique.
A great experiment. Each one is different from the other even though the same sketch was used.
Each one is more beautiful than the next...I love the card sketch and that stamp just looks amazing the way you colored it :) I love that you used some vintage ric rac! I have a whole jar of buttons from my grandma and it makes me smile everytime they find their way onto a card :)
Hi Donna, what a gorgeous cardcs you have made. I love the design of Leigh Hannan so much. I have different stamps of her. But these of yours are so fabulous and I love the wonderful colors and the beautiful details. Marvelous.
Lovely greet

Wowsers, Donna! Such bright and lovely cards! I love this stamp. You have outdone yourself on these. Great job!
Hugs, April
Donna, they are all so beautiful, bright and cheerful...what a great stamp and you colored them all so nice.
Such a beautiful collection of cards Donna. I couldn't possibly choose a favourite xxx
My, my what a busy stamper! What a great way to show how different one stamp can look on different backgrounds and colors. I think they are all gorgeous. Where is the rickrack? Is it the scallop behinds the circle? I though that was a die cut! P.S. love those floating hearts too.
Beautiful coloring and cards Donna! Love the butterflies!
Hi Donna! These are beautiful!! Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving nice comments :) The blue paper was regular blue scrapbook paper-it wasn't even as heavy as cardstock paper. I think painting it with a sponge would be fine because you don't saturate it, you just blot. Have a good evening! :)
Oh my goodness! These are ALL so beautiful!! I love your colors and the way you came up with such different designs with the same image. AWESOME~!
