The Write Stuff

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. 

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
