I focused on Debby's:
-Christmas light theme
-vellum band for sentiment
I changed:
-colours
-ink blending instead of watercoloring
-dark background
-size/shape of card
I started by cutting negative masks for my Christmas light bulbs and blending ink through them, adjusting pressure to create shadows and highlights. This helped to make my lights look dimensional and shiny.
I blended night-time colours between the lights for some extra drama and then tried to figure out how to make the light sockets look realistic, despite the fact that they were the same colour as the inks.

WOW!! What an extraordinary accomplishment of redesigning Debby's original. You definitely had vision and Your masking and coloring skills are off the charts! Fav'd.
Wow! Ardyth, this is a wonderful case of Debby's card. I love the way you used the negative cutting as masks to create the layered lights. You are so very talented.
