Serendipity Stamps July... New Winter and
Fall Stamps Blog Hop.
I love this new little tree and It will be a Christmas favorite of mine. With a different sentiment of course.
What was I thinking! Yellow and Red!!!!
This was the way I first colored the scarf , not sure why I did that because I personally don't like red and yellow. It was so easy to change up. I just stamped it again on scrap paper colored it cut it out then placed it on the original card with some foam tape. Now it even has a bit more dimentinon. I did the same thing with the star.
Some of you may already know , that when you paper piece white card stock its always a good idea to go around the edges of the cut piece with a marker in the same color. I do this most of the time , but ever since I saw a video from Karin I am reminded to do it All the time! It makes such a difference.
All stamps are from Serendipity Stamps .
The rest of the Design Team will be showcasing some of the other new stamps .One random commenter will receive all 4 rubber cling stamps. You have until 12 pm Sunday, August 4 to leave a comment. Good Luck!
