    Weekly-FavoriteWelcome to a new challenge for  Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Chalk.

    I will admit..it’s been a long time since I’ve used my chalks or chalk pencils. On top of that, I have a bit of bronchitis and the chalk dust really gave me coughing fits, lol. Anyway, I stamped the lovely wine image, masked it and rubbed and scribbled pink and purple chalks over the background, After I removed the mask, I used the chalk and chalk pencils to add color to the image. I then used an eraser to remove color in areas for highlights. Since it’s hard to do really detailed shading with chalk, I had decided in the beginning I would go for an Impressionistic type still life look. The coughing got to be too much with the chalk dust and the colors still didn’t look shaded enough, so I took out my Prismacolor pencils and added more shading. It was starting to look a little better, but I still wasn’t happy with it.

    It’s funny where inspiration comes from, but as I was pondering what to do next, I noticed an animated short film on tv. The style was very cartoonish but I started looking at the backgrounds in the scenes. They were very mottled and had these cross hatch markings all over it and I really liked the way they looked. So I took a white Prismacolor pencil and did the scratchy bg on the top. I also used the Ink Spots image to add a little something something along the shaded edges. The framed image was so large, I had no place to put the greeting except over the image, so I added it with the Versafine onyx ink.

    Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread designs August Release, here is the card I created using the Strawberries, Blue Ribbon Winner, Canning Jar dies , Fancy Foliage dies & Recipe & Tag dies. For more inspiration using the Augsut Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

    For my card, I stamped and die cut the lg and sm canning jars, reverse masked them and stamped the strawberries inside and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut a recipe card and then moved the bottom of the die up to shorten it a bit. With the die in place, I sponged some lt green ink inside the die edge and stamped the Strawberries on the tab. The lg strawberries and strawberry border were die cut and colored with Copics. For the large background, I use the vine from the Fancy Foliage dies and embossed it in several places rather than die cutting it. I used a green Copic to add color to the leaves and vines.The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

    A     big congrats to Jodi, the Featured Stamper (FS331) on Splitcoast! What a super gallery and I noticed she has a lot of vintage images and little frames w/ a postage stamp edge, so I chose her Hello, Bonnie Blue Bell to case. I kept the Hello theme, soft colors and general layout, but I used different images, made my background instead of using dp and put the sentiment on the image panel.

    I stamped the greeting  next to the little telephone and colored it w/ Copics, using the colors from Tuesday’s Color Challenge (CC429), sand, pink & sky. To make the background, I placed a couple of strips of drywall mesh across white c/s and sponged the colors on. I added a few strips of painter’s tape and sponged on more color. I die cut one frame using the postage stamp squares (resized to a rectangle) and a narrow white frame around the outside. I used copics to color in the postage stamp frame. The card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    For once, I actually remembered to take a pic of the Copics I used before I put them all back. So just in case you’d like to know, here they are:
