One image, 6 ways

I wanted to challenge myself to use an image, stamp it out, color it and use them to make different cards. I started out with six of this image a flower from Funstampers Journey's "Sweet You". I colored the flowers with copic markers R05, R24, R46. The leaves were colored with YG17, YG13, YG21. I then also stamped out and colored the larger flower and added it to most of the cards using pop dots. 

 

 This is the first card I made. Once I made this one I kind of got stuck in a red/black/white color scheme, but since the challenge was to come up with different layouts I just went with it. I had this piece of red that I had stamped a speckled background on it, but then I didn't use it, and it went back into my stash, so I used that for this card. I cut it down to make the different layers in this card. I cut the image with an oval die and layered that in a scalloped oval. I used a card sketch from cardztv.blogspot to make this one:

 I stamped the red layer with Stampin Up's "en Francois" then layered it on black and then on a white card. I embossed the triangles in the corners with the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. I also found this card sketch on Cardztv.blogspot:

 I went with a different color scheme with this one. I heat embossed the green banner with Funstampers Journey's "Script". The sentiment came from an old Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin. This sketch was found on Freshlymadesketches #197

 I started out with a red card then added a black layer.  I embossed the white layer with a "Musical Flourishes" embossing folder and then layered the images. I used my Bow Easy to make the little double bow. I also added some dimension to the little berries using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

 By the time I got to this card it was after 1 AM and I had to be up by 8 AM, so I went with a simple design. Not alot of frills, just simple and to the point. Rhe image was cut wuth a stitched rectangle die, layered in a red rectangle.

The 6th image got messed up when I tried to cut it with a die. So I threw that one away.  Tomorrow I will stamp and color another image so I can complete the challenge!

I have been trying to make more cards. I am shooting for at least one a day. Earlier this week a Facebook friend posted this sketch and I figured I would jump on the challenge! I made another card but I'm not sure I love it. Today in the mail I received my Hero Arts layering Goldfish stamps and dies. I had seen them months ago and have been looking in the stores for them. I try not to pay shipping if I dont have to. Well earlier this week I found both on Amazon so.... I ordered them!!! 😊 I used them to make a card for the sketch. The sentiment is from a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called "Happy Ocean Friends".
I just LOVE these goldfish!!!!
