Love You




Here's another Serendipity Stamps challenge for you!

Today we combine two challenges into one; create a Valentine's Day Card that is all white except for the focal image and use dry embossing on the card. I started with Papertrey Ink white card stock and used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on half of the card base. I then added a vine that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I stamped the Heart Wreath with Hero Arts new Bubble Gum mid-tone ink and cut it out and then placed it on dimensionals. The "love you" sentiment was also cut with the Cameo using a Kristina Werner digital image. I finished the card with a little grosgrain ribbon and pearls.

Looking Forward to Summer

The weather forecast calls for up to 10 inches of snow tonight and thanks to Mary I had the opportunity to take my mind off it by working on my Serendipity Stamp challenge. Each design team member was assigned two months and was asked to decorate a calendar with our choice of stamps. By the luck of the draw, I got two wonderful (wistful sigh) summer months to tackle. I'm going to let my photos tell the story here today and will post a list of the stamps used below as well as a supply list. Enjoy strolling through the year with the other design team members' calendar pages. You can check them out here:

Jeanne October and November
Amy - February and March
Jenny - January and December
Miriam - April and May
