SSCB # 18



Welcome to another easy challenge.  All you need to have on your card is either, polka dots or gingham and at least one stamp from Serendipity Stamps. I went ahead and made two.



 For this card I added watercolor to the stamp,then stamped the image, let it dry. Then I added different color inks to the stamp , used my stamp a jig and stamped over the water color. 

The thing I like best about this sentiment is I can add what ever I want to the inside; like birthday
thanks, hello anything because it doesn't say on the front.
I wanted to use this favorite stamp of mine because…I love it and because it already had polka dots and gingham in the image.
 ( kinda gingham)

  1. I love the subtle polka dots on your first card, Marybeth. Such a pretty image, too. Your pumpkin looks great with those dots and stripes...and yes! I also see gingham. Two fabulous cards! x

  4. Oh, I absolutely love both cards!!
    love the different techniques you used, I think I'll try the one with the added water to the stamp before stamping. Sorry for my bad English. :-)
    And your thistle card is very, very beautiful and you used great purple!
    The sentiment gives it a vintage touch.

  10. These are both so pretty. I love how you have captured that butterfly in motion, and the way the text goes over the stems in your first card, and your water coloring effect on your second card.
