SERENDIPITY STAMPS CHALLENGE #47~2


Make your own background

It's time for the DT to share more ideas for making your own backgrounds. You still have time to join in the challenge which will run until the end of the month. Create a background using Serendipity stamps or dies for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate. Link up...you don't need a blog to play. You can find all the details on the Serendipity Blog.

 The stamp of the month is 50% OFF
Jeanne made an awesome card using the Japanese Maple stamp for her background. If you missed it, you can see it here!

Check out the backgrounds from the DT


This is the bg I made that inspired my card.
I have used distress inks and the Retro Starburst Cling Set.



This is what I ended up with!
I love the elegant simplicity of the Berry Sprig. The Merry Christmas stamp was used by masking off the, "Christmas".
  
All of these stamps are used on the PPP Stitched Duo 3 tag that Serendipity carries.



The berries were colored up with Copics, Wink and then Rock Candy Stickles to add a little winter feel. On the black paper Christmas was heat embossed using detailed holographic ep. 

Thanks for looking!


Don't forget...Our next Blog Hop will be Friday Oct 2nd
Join in and see some NEW goodies and play for a chance to WIN!!

SSCB #39-2 ~ HIDDEN GEMS!


Welcome to the second half of the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. This month the theme is to use those, "Hidden Gems". Anything goes, just be sure to include a Serendipity stamp or die in your design. New to the challenges? You can find the guidelines here on the SSCB. There is always a $20 Gift Certificate up for grabs! The winner will be announced on Feb 4th.

This weeks sale is FREE shipping on any US order $15 or more.
Good through 1/27 

Here are some "Gems" to inspire you!
Kimberly Wiener...guest designer
Vickie Zimmer
Julie Warner...out this week
Karen Amidon ...you are here!


My first gem is the Herbs and Jars. I have kept it CAS to show just how lovely the stamp is on its own. You can almost smell the herbs drying!

Here I have made tags using three more gems! 
For the first one I have colored the Flower Pitcher. The script is from the Spring Flower Background stamp.
Daffodils are a sign that spring is coming...please hurry! The shading on this image makes for an easy color. I have stamped the,"Spring" in the background with Memento's Cantaloupe. 
Succulents and cactus still remain very popular. I love the detail on this Cactus image that I've colored up with Copics. Having tags made up for all different occasions always comes in handy.

 Thanks for looking!
