Gingersnap Creations Challenge Two

Hi everyone, Welcome to my second week of creation for Gingersnap Creations Blog! I'm having a great time playing with my supplies and taking on different challenges! This weeks challenge is GC28: Supply Challenge: Embossing powder!

For this card I used Serendipity Stamps Thank you II Horizontal (559E) and Pussy Willow small (855D). I used the light purple cardstock for the whole card. I stamped the pussy willows randomly on the strip with Versa Mark and then embossed them white embossing powder. I then inked over the top of them with a darker purple ink. This gives such a crisp white image. For the thank you, I stamped it and inked the edges in the same darker purple, then covered the whole piece with Versa Mark and clear embossing powder! I love the deep shimmery effect this adds to the card. Don't forget to check out the Gingersnap Creations Design Team pieces HERE

Every Wednesday Gingersnap Creations will post a new challenge, you'll be able to see what our Design Team and theirs have created for that Challenge! That also means no Challenge at the Serendipity Blog this month, but don't worry it will be back in February!

Don't forget to scroll down on the Gingersnap Creations Blog and read the interview with Mary, what an amazing woman! Now on with the challenge: Time

For this card I was working with some new inking techniques and I was very pleased with the results, unfortunately I didn't photograph it very well and it's a bit washed out! I used two different Serendipity Stamps! Time is What (1167E) the circle stamp and Butterfly from the Butterfly cling set (708QCL)! I stamped the butterfly separate cut it out, folded up the wings, and covered it with diamond glaze, and the final touch was to curl up a piece of black wire for the antennae!

Serendipity Stamps December Design Team Challenges!

Time for my December Serendipity Stamps Projects! One Easter project and one Valentines project. We'll start with Valentines day! Isn't this stamp just gorgeous? It's so intricate and stamps so perfectly! Around the edge it says you are Always in my heart (stamp # 419E)! And I had a great time converting a pattern for Christmas ornaments into Valentines day because who says ornaments are only for Christmas? I think I'll be making plenty more of these!

And for my Easter project a shaker card! I stamped the eggs (stamp# 685M) on Shrink plastic, colored them with Copic markers then shrunk them! Added them with some seed beads to the shaker on the front and waa laa a card with movement!

Beautiful Butterflies!

I just picked up these butterfly pictures yesterday! And I happened to have these very lovely butterfly stamps from Serendipity and boy did they go together nicely! I used a sketch from November Becky Higgins! I made the background paper myself and I don't know if you can tell but the stamped butterflies look like they are flying! Enjoy a bit of summer for the cold winter!
