I hope you're thinking summer and maybe a road trip or staycation. There are new stamps and dies for either. I have three projects for you today. The first features the new hammock stamp and "Relax" word die.
I know everyone doesn't love to color so I thought I'd do something different and leave this one untouched.
I still packed in lots of color with a papered background. Those little wood look sequins? I'm hooked on those!! You can find them at Serendipity, along with the Zig Zag Stitched Border from Pretty Pink Posh (also in the store at Serendipity).
Anya Schrier designed another retro stamp set for Serendipity - this one is all rectangles - and you're going to have so much fun playing with these. They look fab in just about any color - and the combinations and layouts are unlimited.I created one with pink highlights and one with blue and I really love them both. "Enjoy" is another new word stamp in the store. Check out the dot over the "J". I love that it can double as a comma for the other word dies when I need one.
Ready to see more? Your next stop is Jenny Gropp! Jenny is going to amaze you with her gorgeous coloring and lovely layers! But BEFORE you go... leave me a comment.
