That would depend on your ontology, and to some extent on your epistemology.

For example, if you are are a phenomenalist, as I am, what is created is 
"Difference", the primary difference being a dichotomy of Sensibility 
(proprietary awareness) and Otherness (universal  beingness).  Specific 
objects and their attributes are then "actualized" from sensible value in 
the process of experience.

The power to create, perceive, or be, however, has its source in a Creator 
that transcends existential difference.

Best regards,
Ham
