Serendipity Oct Blog Hop #1!




Welcome to the Oct #1 Blog Hop
 for Serendipity Stamps! 
To make my Thanksgiving card, I stamped & colored the Wheat Sheaf then die cut the white panel. I wanted to add a little something extra so I die cut the 3 small squares along the top, added a tan frame, then added a stamped image from the Retro Starburst set.  For the greeting, I stamped part of the little Thanksgiving word then die cut the Greetings &  Believe words & did a snip & paste to put them together & make Give. This is also for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge & THIS was my inspiration.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

    This design makes me think this wheat sheaf has been gifted outside someone’s door, very pretty.

  2. Love the way you pieced together your “Give” die cut! And love those 3 little “windows” – using the stamped image inside makes them look like little shutters!

  3. LOVE the depth & texture you gave this card. I can see why the wheat sheaf is one of Serendipity’s most popular stamps.
