Are you playing along with the Serendipity Stamps Challenge? This month the challenge is to create a project with your favorite Serendipity Stamps image or die and to include some sheet music or newsprint on your design. Just link up your design here and you could win $20 off your next order! Everyone is a winner though because the sale this time is buy 3 items get your 4th item free. The sale runs through 2-26. The design team made all their cards featuring a color blending techinque. I used Ranger distress inks to create the warm red, orange, yellow background for my butterfly and thistle. First I stamped the image in Versamark Ink, and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I applied the distress inks one at a time, starting with the lightest in the center, and the darker on the outer edges.

THats beautiful Jeanne, I love the rich warm oranges, and your blending is perfect!
It's beautiful and what a wonderful blending technique you used. This one reminds me of a warm summer day. Sure to warm anyone up who lives by you ....with all that snow and cold. Neat way to use that image.
Your card is absolutely stunning! The colors the image the text. Makes me wish it were spring here in Minnesota.
Your colors are always so cheerful. The Thistle image embossed in clear looks beautiful on your background. Another gorgeous creation Jeanne!
What a good idea with those glue dots and perfect pearls! I zoomed in to see if they were sequins before I read your whole post. This is totally you, the bright colors and I really like the white embossing.
Beautiful, Jeanne! I love the hot orange color w/ the pale turquoise! Such a wonderful sketch, too!
This is so pretty! Your colors really pop!
Yikes, this is so beautiful, Jeanne! A person can sit and have an entire cocktail just enjoying all the wonderful little details you tuck into your fabulous creations!! Hugs, Darnell
The embossing and shading is beautiful, a breath of spring!
Gorgeous, Jeanne. Your cards are always so packed full of beauty. I'm really loving the orange on this one....I love orange but forget to use it on my cards.
Very well done.
