We're at the half way point of the latest Serendipity Stamps Challenge. This month it's "My Girl". We're looking for feminine cards for the special ladies in your life.
I wanted something soft and feminine for my card so I started with the Floral Frame Die from Serendipity! I thought the Rose Square stamp embossed in gold would be stunning - and it is!!
For my sentiment I used this "Love You" stamp. The letters are so scrolly and feminine and the message looks personal and hand written (If only I payed attention in penmanship class! - do they even have that anymore???) I masked off the quill pen portion of the stamp with a piece of washi tape before I inked it up, and then removed the tape before I stamped the image. I generally look at images as shapes and thought this one would fit beautifully inside an oval. To make it stand out more I cut a second scalloped oval in a darker shade of pink to draw more attention to it. Of course a cute little heart gem doesn't hurt either! LOL!
Here's the finished card. Mary asked the DT to make cards with special folds or to add a pocket to their card. If you're looking for mine you won't find it. I blew it this week and neglected to add this special feature. My card is an unusual size if that counts - it's 4.5" x 5.5" - not my usual A2 size. Want to go shopping? This stamp called "Aprons" is the 50% off stamp this month.
We have a very special guest this month too. Isha Gupta! Her designs are always bright and beautiful and sure to make you smile! I hope you will stop and say hi to her!
