Welcome to the May Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is Flowers…stamped, die cut, designer paper, dried…whatever you have.  The sale at Serendipity Stamps this week is 20% off the alphabets category.  Good through 5/14.  And as always, we have a  have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.
For the design team, we have the added challenge of using one of beautiful Floral Alphabet stamps.
I chose to use the Floral Alphabet S and Lg Wild Sunflower images for my card. I first stamped the Lg Sunflower onto a handwritten text designer paper and the Floral S onto white. I colored both with Copics, then die cut them both. I used my out of the box technique for the Sunflower, used a craft knife to cut & “lift” the lower petals & leaf of the sunflower, then attached it to several more die cut layers. The Floral S was attached off center to a die cut black piece then inserted under the “lifted” petals & leaf.Â
The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
Thanks so much for stopping by!Â

Absolutely stunning! Love how you lifted the leaf and petals to insert your letter image. Perfect design and coloring…as always, beautiful!
WOW Julie! Beautiful card, with incredible colors. Love the intensity of the shading.
Your coloring is fantastic as usual julie!!! I didn’t even know about that sunflower! Love it!
Done to perfection. Your colouring really brings your flower to life.
Julie, I love this! Colored so beautiful as always and the colors are wonderful. I have to get me some of the SS flowers I only have a few . Because of you another one added to my list.
Stunning card!
So sorry I’m late. Love that you mixed the monogram sunflower with the other sunflower stamp. Your colors are amazing – and everything looks perfect together like it was just meant to be!
