Cas(e) this Sketch and SSS Wednesday challenge...Thanks!!

As I stated yesterday I had some time to stamp this weekend. Here's another card that I made for CAS(e) this sketch and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.... Thanks/Thanksgiving!!

I sponged some watercolor cardstock with various Distress inks and then die cut with PTI leaf print dies. The tag is from PTI also. Added a little twine bow and sentiment from Verve's Joyful Blooms. 

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!

Keep up the fight!!

Happy, Happy Sunday!! Hope you had a great weekend!! Me... I had a chance to stamp a little and play with some new goodies :)

I know it is now November but, I work in research so the fight for a cure is year round for me. Couldn't resist the chance to play with Verve's new Just Breathe set. Love the font on that sentiment. The gloves were stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto XPress It blending cardstock and colored with copics. I then added crystal effects for the gloss (see below) but, before it was dry I added a die cut heart from Verve's From the Heart die set and added a little rhinestone. The pink background was stamped randomly with an image from Verve's Better Together and the flag was made with Verve's Flourished Tag die (just left the straight edge out of the plate to make it longer). Finished up with some pretty ribbon from Verve. 

The layout is the Viva la Verve November week 1 sketch.

I also played in Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge... So Glossy!!

25 Days of ChristmasTags- with Tracey McNeely!!

Good Morning!! Hope your weekend is going well. Serendipity Stamps has the pleasure of being one of the sponsors for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!!

A few of the Serendipity DT are participating with Tracey to celebrate the upcoming holiday season!!

I LOVE making tags to decorate homemade gifts or packages. 

For my tag I used Serendipity's Bells with Holly. Isn't it gorgeous... can you see all the detail in the image!! The image was stamped in versamark and heat embossed with silver-- a little shine at the holiday is always fun!! The images were watercolored in soft pink and blues. The tags are Stitched Duo # from Pretty Pink Posh- you can purchase these at Serendipity Stamps.

Now don't forget to hop on over to Tracey's blog!! There are prizes, just sayin' :)

You should have arrived here from Mary's blog but, if you got lost along the way I have a full list below. I have a couple cards to show you today. 

First off is this sweet Snowman with Umbrella!! I played with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers again.... still learning!!I stamped the image in Momento Tuxedo black ink and heat embossed with clear onto watercolor paper. Maybe should not do the clear heat embossing next time?

For the inside- I added the new Have Yourself sentiment stamped onto Cherry Lynn oval and stitched oval dies. I didn't add any other design or patterned paper so there would be room to write a personal message.

This cards uses the new Cottage house die. There are so many elements in this set- I didn't come close to using all of them. The background trees are Serendipity's Tall Tree Medium and Small and the sweet fence is from Pretty Pink Posh. You can find Pretty Pink Posh dies here at Serendipity Stamps. The sentiment die Seasons Greetings was released last month.
