    Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Watercolor!  

    While I love to water color, I also love to make water color backgrounds…just free form swaths of color…then stamp on top of them. I love the random patterns of color I get and how they look with the images on top. A lot of times when I’m making water color backgrounds, I’ll make an extra, or two, and stash them away. This is one of those extras. I don’t even remember when I did it. It’s basically just large bands in different colors. After I decided where I wanted the image and stamped it, and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

    The frame was die cut with a large oval then I used a Japanese screw punch with the smallest bit I have to punch the holes all around the edge. The greeting was stamped underneath to finish my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

  • ODBD Mid Month September Review

    Christmas Bells 2005

    Welcome to the ODBD Mid Month Review! The Design Team has a whole bunch of new projects to inspire you using images from the September release!

    For my card, after stamping and coloring the image I added a die cut frame. On the greeting oval,  I left the die in place and used a Copic marker to color in the oval before stamping the greeting on top. Two red fancy ornament die cuts were added on top and bottom.  A decorative corner die cut out of forest green was used in the lower left corner. On the lt green dp, I embossed it w/ a holly folder then used the Copic opaque white paint to add dots to it, the main image and the greeting oval The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used to color the image,

     For this card, I also colored it w/ Copics and die cut it and the forest green layer behind it. The large white panel was dry embossed before attaching to another forest green layer. The sentiment was die cut using the ODBD Recipe & Tag dies set and the forest green behind it was die cut with one of the ODBD Fancy Ornament dies. Some baker’s twine and a little stickles was added to the 5.50 x 4.25 card.
