Good Morning....You may have started here at the Serendipity Stamps blog, if you just happened to stop by, you can start at the beginning on the Serendipity Stamps ... or see the link list below.
I am so excited... Serendipity Stamps is releasing a whole bunch of new stamps and a couple dies! We'e hosting a three-day blog hop! There are so many new goodies!
Today I have a couple of CAS cards using Jenny's Zen... YES... this stamp was designed by - Jenny Gropp!!
I made two cards with this stamp... one black and white and one colorful!
"Kay took a pic of this card at least >50 times.... trying not to exaggerate- I was originally going to say 100 :) I think you can still "see" the intricate designs Jenny created. Added the inlaid "Happy" from Serendipity's recently released word dies... LOVE these!!
Here's the second card...
Have you heard of "zentangle" -- here is the official link-http://www.zentangle.com/ SCS recently posted a tutorial on this technique.
With a large image like this, I find it easiest to ink the image, place your cardstock over the image, add a layer of paper towel, and use a brayer to get an even coloring.
The blog hop list-

Wow...stunning cards Vickie! I love the new stamps.
Way to showcase the background stamps! Wonderful work on both. Have a great weekend :)
Love the background and colors
Beautiful cards Vickie!
These are so pretty! I've tried my hand at zentangle, not great at it but it sure is fun! Love how you've incorporated it into your cards!
Silly question but Jenny actually had to DRAW that, right??? That blows my mind! Loving the stamp but your cards are amazing!!! The Hello on the 2nd one has gone into my cart...couldn't help myself!! TYFS
I love your cards, the zentangle backgrounds are wonderful and I love the layered Hello. It sets that card off so beautifully. Thank you for sharing them. hugs, Cathy K
Guess I was a bit mixed up today!
I totally believe you Vickie, about the amount of pictures you had to take and then how long it takes to edit them.
But it was all worth it because both of these are gorgeous! Love the one with color and the vellum great job with Jens amazing stamp! How fun is that!
Both of your cards are so dramatic! I love that stamp!!
I love the Zentangle look - Lovely cards!

Both of these are wonderful! Love the black & white zen and the color version is just super.Great job with these!
Beautiful background! Love how you used the various colors. The detail in the stamp is gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration, your cards are all lovely!
Zentangle is very new to me. Looks like you had a lot of fun with it on your cards. I love the triple layered "Hello" die cut!
Beautiful job showing off that Zen! You made the same stamp and layout look so very different! Amazing the contrast between the two!
