Two cards, same colors, different results! How creating limits can help your creativity!

February 25, 2021

Two cards, same colors, different results! How creating limits can help your creativity!

My friend Gina K. Designs has a brand new kit out today, and I played with a few of the elements, plus some of her other products, to create two cards that use essentially the same ink colors but resulting in two different looks.

I set a limit of four colors and the first card features ink blending. Limiting your supplies can actually help your creativity, I find. If I try to use too many things from a kit, I get a bit overwhelmed.

For my second card, I used water and a brush to paint the same colors of ink onto my stamped image. Such a fun way to get more out of your dye inks! I added an additional green ink for the leaves.

Here is my video tutorial showing you how I created these two cards:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I was surprised about the 2 cards using the same colors and I had to check it twice as they looked so different. Thank you for this inspiration.
