SERENDIPITY CHALLENGE #44 ~MY GUY

   
We are still focusing on the masculine theme for our June challenge. 
Join in and play along for a chance to win a $20 Serendipity Stamps Gift Certificate. The rules are simple, create something using Serendipity stamps and/or dies with the monthly theme, and enter. Remember, you don't have to have a blog to play! More info can be found on the SSCB.

The DT has added texture to the challenge
Take a look and see what they have created!

I Love the NEW Birdhouse with Sign image. The blank sign has been customer made using the small Miss You stamp. I have inked the image several times, fussy cut and added dimension by popping up the roof and the sign.


I started the card by stamping the beautiful Sweetgum and Acorns Cling Set image.
The stamped image was then die cut with the stitched square. A circle die was used to frame the image by dry embossing.
The Mahogany Sequins from Serendipity repeat the wood pattern on the bird house. 


The Birdhouse, acorns and a few leaves were fussy cut, curved and popped up onto Sweetgum branch.
Several different elements of texture were used to add interest. 
I have used faux suede, corrugated cardboard, natural jute and canvas to help pull together the masculine theme.

Looking forward to seeing your designs
