Serendipity SSCB#60 – Anything Goes!

Posted on October 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to the October Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Anything Goes! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. October’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Pumpkin Border! Be sure to check out the Yard Sale items and the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since the challenge is Anything Goes, I went w/ a Thanksgiving card featuring a wonderful Pumpkins & Sunflowers collage image. After pulling out some autumn colored paper, I put the image in my Misti & stamped it onto ivory w/ the rhubarb ink, colored it w/ Copics, then overstamped w/ the Versafine. I quickly coated it w/ the embossing powder & heat embossed it. I love the richness the embossing added. It was die cut & attached to one of the papers. The larger paper was also die cut…I liked the little harvest element in the corner so I made sure to leave it.

The little Thanksgiving was also heat embossed & the Happy was die cut out of some of the same papers, but it the color wasn’t quite strong enough so I colored over it w/ the E07 Copic & attached it to an ivory version, slightly offset. I also added an embossed maple leaf that was fussy cut.

Here are the Copics I used..I went w/ more subdued colors to match the paper I used.

Please be sure to comment on all the DT blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper (FS503) challenge over on Splitcoast. A big congrats to Penni, the newest FS! I chose THIS to case because I really liked the colors. So I kept the colors, but used a water color background instead of designer paper & changed it from a birthday card to a fall card.
The w/c bg was made by lightly misting the w/c paper, sprinkling the Brushos, then misting again, a little more heavily. When dry, I die cut the whole panel w/ a large rectangle then die cut the Reverse Leaves die down the side. I lined this panel up on a die cut orange panel & put the leaves die back in place to cut through the orange panel. I wanted the leaf detail to show up when I put the orange leaves back in place. A stacked die cut Autumn was added & the other half of the greeting was stamped below it. One stamped maple leaf was fussy cut & 2 orange leaves added.

Here’s a look at the inside.

You can get all the details on the challenge HERE.

Since the challenge for this month is “no coloring” & I really love color, I thought a good way to add color would be by using different ink colors. I started by die cutting the stitched rectangle out of one of the faint printed pieces of the designer paper then stamping the 4 different stamp images w/ four different ink colors. I did have to do a little masking. Three extra stamp images were also stamped & the red & green ones were fussy cut inside the post edge, the navy one was trimmed outside the postage edge. These were all attached to larger navy layers that I used the postage edge scissors to trim (remember all those scissors we all bought way back when?)

The greeting was stamped on a white piece the same width as the postoid panel & I used a lg. corner rounder to trim the ends. The text print paper was die cut w/ a rectangle then I used a dotted edge curved die to cut away the bottom & add the faint white dots w/ a white Prismacolor pencil.

Here’s a look at the inside.
