Does this image make you thirsty, lol? It’s been a 5 O’Clock kind of week around here. And I just love images w/ colorful, tasty beverages in them. After coloring them I die cut them & added some equally colorful layers of papers behind them. I thought the Relax die would fit in perfectly w/ the image.

I added some stickles here & there for a little sparkle.

I’ve shown this on other posts, but I’m always amazed at how much sharper the image looks after over stamping w/ Versafine. Below.. left is just w/ Memento & Copics..right is after stamping again w/ Versafine (click any picture to enlarge).

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – It’s 5 O’Clock

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples #110 white, black, dp (Amer.Crafts – #Summer, Pebbles -Fun in the Sun)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to overstamp image after coloring)

Accessories: Serendipity Relax die, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A dies, Copic markers, MISTI, double stitched rectangles dies, fishtail flags dies, stickles

Serendipity SSCB#53 – Dots/Circles!

Posted on March 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Welcome to the March Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Circles/Dots! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We also have a new “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image is 50% off & this month- it’s the To the World!. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. This is also for the Featured Stamper (FS474) on Splitcoast. I chose THIS card of Geni’s.

For my card, I’m featuring this pretty little Goldfinch with the Hope quote. The goldfinches at our bird feeder still have their winter coats on, but I except to see the males starting to look like this one again soon. I put him in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a grand label 4 to die cut mainly just the left side & the black mat behind him. For the right side, I repeated the stamp, color, over stamp (w/ a little masking thrown in) using the Small Dogwood then fussy cut down the left side of them to attach on top. The pink paper has the small dots for the challenge & I thought it went well w/ the image. After I stamped the quote (minus the Hope at the beginning), I stamped part of the goldfinch image on a separate piece, lined up where I wanted to place the Hope die , cut it, backed it w/ 2 more cut outs to elevate it, then placed it on top in the corresponding place of the image. The quote was stamped again on another piece & I used the smaller of the flowers from the hydrangea punch to punch out the areas I wanted & also attached them in place. I added just a little stickles to the flower centers.

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Hope, Goldfinch, Small Dogwood Branch

Paper: X-Press It white, black, dp (Simple Stories -Snap Color Vibe)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to over stamp)

Accessories: Serendipity Hope die, Spellbinders A2 matting basics B, Grand Labels 4 dies, Copic markers, Flourished Star Pattern die, Misti, white gel pen, stickles

Now I’ll send you on to Karen’s blog..I’m sure she’ll have something fabulous to show you! Please be sure to visit all of the DT Blogs to increase your chance of winning! Here’s the order in case you get lost. This month, we have a special guest…Jinny Newlin!

My card today is a combo of the Clean & Simple (CAS361), Color (CC567), and Sketch (SC577) Challenges. The CAS is to make a sweet treat, the colors are mint, strawberry & espresso & my version of the sketch is a little morphed. Instead of the straight band mine is a curved banner & I had to move the greeting underneath.

So I stamped, colored & cut out the cupcake (my panel 3) & added some stickles to the icing. The white bg (my panel 2) was dry embossed & I had a big heart punch that fit inside the heart centerpiece almost exactly (my panel 5), so I sponged on green ink & put it behind the cupcake. The banner (my panel 4) was die cut & stamped using the pistachio & worn lipstick inks & I did remove a couple of the flags to make it shorter. The larger layer (my panel 1)is actually just a frame that was sitting there, so I embossed it w/ frame folder & sponged the green ink over the top of it.

These are the Copics I used to color the cupcake
