I was doing ok with using the same paper (since I am so layout challenged) and the same colors and the same inks/markers etc.
But the Embellishments!!! OMGosh!! That was amazingly hard!!
I wanted to use liquid applique for frosting but couldn't bc. it wasn't on my original card! Then I wanted to sprinkle DD on my crystal effects on the cake---not allowed! THEN I wanted to change my ribbon to add more brown to the main image---nope! I toyed with the idea of changing the eyelets to pink, brown, and pale yellow---oh, yeah, not allowed!!
I ended up not even using my EP, bc. my cake inke were classic and my stand was craft, but why bother to emboss it when the cake had CE?
ACK!! I tell ya---these kinds of challenges kill me! But I survived to stamp again---yipppeeee!! =)
