Do-Over

Today's Try a New Technique challenge on SCS was to remake an existing card in your own gallery, changing only the stamp set. Since Polka-dot Posies was still on my stamping table from one of yesterday's challenge cards, I reinked it to recreate an adjusted version of this card.

As the challenge described, all I did was replace the images. The original card used the You Make Me Happy stamp set. This set has a lot of texture in the images. Here, the texture is replaced with lots and lots of dots. When I use Polka-dot Posies, I usually use really bright colors, so using more earthy tones was with this set was a change for me, even if the card doesn't look much different from the original.

Not much to say tonight--I have to write a paper on using course management systems for my grad school class, so I guess I should get to work on that now. . .
