\nWelcome to the March\u00a0<\/span>Challenge for<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>Serendipity Stamps<\/a><\/strong>!<\/span>
\nThis month the challenge is Circles\/Dots!\u00a0You can get all the details over on the<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>Serendipity Challenge Blog<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0We also have a new\u00a0<\/span>\u201cStamp of the Month\u201d. Each month a different image is\u00a050% off\u00a0 &\u00a0this month-<\/span> it\u2019s the To the World<\/strong><\/a><\/span>!<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Be sure to check out the great deals on the\u00a0Clearance Stamps<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. This is also for the Featured Stamper (FS474<\/a>) on Splitcoast. I chose THIS<\/a> card of Geni’s.
\n\"Feathered
\n<\/a>For my card, I’m featuring this pretty little Goldfinch<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with the Hope<\/a><\/strong><\/span> 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. \u00a0I 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<\/a><\/strong><\/span> 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<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0, 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.

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