Serendipity Stamps Challenge!!



Good Morning!! Welcome!! to the start of this months Serendipity Stamps Challenge!! This month we're being asked to use water- watercolor.... easy peasy, right!!


Here's my card....


The image- Serendipity Stamps Sprinkler (which also happens to be the 50% off stamp of the month) was stamped onto watercolor cardstock with versamark, heat embossed with white embossing powder and then, colored with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. Isn't that image sweet- when I was growing up the sprinkler was the "bomb" very few community pools and I have to say my daughter's fiance has a "little"- Taylin and she has been playing in the sprinkler this week- loads of fun for her and sweet memories!! Added some loose yellow watercoloring on the background panel, popped everything up with foam for dimension and added some enamel dots!!

A little close up...

Still learning with these markers... I colored the whole portions (i.e. water, shirt, shorts etc.) added water with a brush, this made the water pool, so I sponged off the "extra water" with a paper towel. 

The inside...


The sentiment is Serendipity's Keep Your Face... which I also stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white. Then, I used my Zigs to add some loose color over the sentiment. 

Looking for some awesome inspiration?
