It's time for the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop! We're changing it up this year- there will be two hops each month as usual and there will be opportunities to win $ to purchase Serendipity Stamps. The design team will be showing you the latest products and offering a chance for you to win some goodies from Serendipity Stamps.
You should have arrived here from Julie's blog but, if you got lost along the way I have a full list below.
So, first I have to say this didn't quite turn out like I envisioned but, that happens sometimes :-) Love this Floral Cuts Background die!!! I die cut with white cardstock and then, randomly added some sponged color with inks over the different flowers- it was a bit too "stark" so I sprayed with water several times- dabbing off ink in between sprays. Then, I "pulled up" some of the petals to add a little dimension- adding enamel dots in the centers to draw attention to the individual flowers.
I added a contrasting colored paper background so it would "peek through" underneath the petals. Next time, I might try using a rainbow gradient in softer colors. Love how you this die covers the whole background and at the same time you can add some dimension by lifting the petal parts.
For this card, I stamped the Roller Coaster image from the Roller Coaster cling set in memento tuxedo black and colored with copics. Added a stitched frame, popped up with foam, and the sentiment from the same set. Notice how the sentiment is a little "off"--- well, that fits!! The other sentiment in the set is wonderful too... Soar Through the Peaks and Hold Hands Through the Dips!!
Looking for some awesome inspiration?
Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!

Love how you pulled up some of the flower petals for a dimensional aspect! So clever! And so love the roller coaster card with your bright carnival colors!
Nothing seems to turn out how I envision. I think your floral card is so pretty. Love how you sponged in the color of the flowers. As for the roller coaster. I just love this image and your colored it wonderfully. Thanks for the inspiration
Even though the card might not have turned out
how you envisioned it - it is a pretty card.
That happens to me a lot and it always works
out in the end.
