Bud Basics Times Two

This pair of cards is made using the Bud Basics and Basics jumbo wheel. You're not seeing double--it is the same card, just done in different color schemes. Isn't it interesting how changing the color really can change the feel of a card?

The sketch and the colors for this card came from Diane's weekly Sunday Morning Challenge. I didn't get to it last weekend, so when I saw that she extended the challenge an additional week, I decided to give it a try. The sketch came from last year's SU! catalog. I always forget about using the catalog for inspiration . . .

Usually when I use Bud Basics, I use Earth Elements colors, so starting with Bold Brights colors was different. For some reason, I have a really hard time lining up the images in this set when I do 2-step stamping. My flowers, especially the large one, are always WAY off, no matter how hard I try to match them up.
