Serendipity SSCB#58- Add Fabric!

Posted on August 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to the August Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Add Fabric! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. August’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Lamb w/ Heart! 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.

To make my Baby Lamb card, I put the oh so sweet image into my Misti, stamped it w/ Memento, colored it w/ Copics then over stamped it w/ Versafine. When I was coloring the little lamb w/ the cool grays, I thought she was looking a little too cool so I added a little warm gray to give her a little depth & warmth & added some earth tones to her face. A little Wink of Stella was added to her bow and also the dark pink trim on the heart.

The little piece of muslin was stamped w/ the button corner image using part of the Kaleidacolor ink & the rhubarb ink, attached to piece of heavy white paper, trimmed w/ pinking shears then attached to stitched square piece (this was a rectangle but after cutting it, I moved one end up to shorten it into a square & cut that end again). The greeting flag was just a stitched rectangle & I took the corner of the rectangle die, turned 45 degrees to cut the notch for the flag tail.

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

I’m also adding this to the Simon Says Wed. Challenge – Celebrate!

Serendipity June Blog Hop!

Posted on June 15, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 15 Comments

Welcome to the June Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps! If you arrived here from Jenny’s Blog, you are in the right place..if not, you may want to head over there first.
My first card features the super cute little Heart Bouquet. I found a small piece of water color background in my stash & the colors seemed perfect for it. I stamped it w/ Versafine off to the side & used a white gel pen in just a few small areas. A die cut white linen frame was attached on top of it w/ the Love You stamped at the bottom & one small, fussy cut heart at the top. For the larger linen layer, I stamped the Sun Garden image across the bottom & left it uncolored. I drew the very narrow frame around it w/ a ruler & black Micron pen. A couple of narrow black layers were attached under the 2 white linen layers.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Heart Bouquet, Sun Garden, Love You Sm.

Paper: water color, Staples #110 white, Neenah white linen, black

Ink: Versafine onyx

Accessories: , Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, pierced rectangles, MISTI, Brushos water color crystals, white gel pen, black micron pen

As I started my second card, I realized I did not have any wedding or anniversary images or greetings 😯 So I used mostly die cuts out of silver mirror board to go w/ the silver & kraft colored paper I had. The Special Day greeting was silver heat embossed on a piece of plain craft & inserted under the large Congratulations die cut.

The two little hearts beneath the greeting were from the Love die, which I ended up not using here. I love the look of the mirror board die cuts, but it is so hard to photograph!

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Everyday Words Small

Paper: Staples #110 white, silver mirror board, kraft, dp (Recollections – Vintage Glam)

Ink: Encore Ulitmate metallic silver pigment

Accessories: Serendipity Mini Heart Scroll, Heart Solid, Heart Scroll, Congratulations, Love dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A, petite ovals, petite scallop ovals dies, pierced rectangles, MISTI, silver embossing powder

Valentine Ride

Posted on January 23, 2016 11:20 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC529) is a site full of fun items. I saw THIS and thought the bicycle theme would make a cute Valentine.

The bicycle was die cut and added to a sponged background. I had already stamped the heart tree & masking it would have been a nightmare so I just carefully sponged around it & used a marker to fill in any blank spots. I did have to do a little out of the box on the left side of three before I added it to a polka dot stamped layer. The big solid hearts were stamped & fussy cut then I added red stickles to them & some Wink of Stella to the hearts on the tree.

Here’s a look at the inside w/ just some simple stamping.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t, please head on over and check out the DRS Thursday Challenge..this week it’s a color challenge. DRS images are not required & there’s a nice prize up for grabs!

Supplies:
