Serendipity Stamps Guest Design Take Two

I am back again with another project for my guest design with Serendipity Stamps. This time I used the Lighthouse die along with the "Do Not Go" quote for a masculine card that would be perfect for a graduation. The quote is by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I was inspired by Peggy's Point Lighthouse which my family visited when we traveled to Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia in 2003.

The tiny little lighthouse in the photo below was mimicked after Peggy's, I can't remember the name of it or where we saw it but I remember being there like it was yesterday.

The sky background was sponged with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink I die cut the lighthouse in white, red and gold. I cut the cap off of the red lighthouse and glued it to the top of the white. The rest of the pieces were inlaid into the white lighthouse. I used a grey snowdrift die to mimic the rocky base Peggy`s lighhouse stands on.

I hope that you come over and play along at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog this month. There is a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate for Serendipity Stamps. Thank you Mary and the Design Team for having me play along with you this month.

Serendipity Stamps Guest Design & 30 Day Coloring Challenge

I am happy to share with you today that I am Guest Designing this month with Serendipity Stamps on the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog for Challenge #44 "My Guy". Serendipity makes stamps and dies with some of the most beautiful images and designs.  For today's post I have two cards to share with you that would be perfect for a birthday or even more appropriately this month as Father's Day cards.  For these I worked with the Golf Bag Cling Stamp set.

For my first card I stamped the golf bag image on a white panel with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured the image in with Copic markers--YG23, YG25, T1, 2, 4, 6. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black.

For the second card I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured over the grass with YG23 and coloured the tee in with R05.  The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black.

I hope that you come over and play along at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog this month. There is a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate for Serendipity Stamps. Thank you Mary and the Design Team for having me play along with you this month--I will see you again on the 17th!

These projects are part of Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge 2.

Anyone can join in at any time over the 30 days.

I am also submitting both of these to the Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge - Make It Masculine!

SSCB #2 - Winter Birthday

Joyce isn't the only one with friends in high places.  Design Team member Cathy Webber was sweet enough to send me some images so that I could play along with the second Challenge at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog.  The theme of this challenge is Winter Birthdays.  Through blogging I share both the good and the not so good, this image is so pretty and it reminds me of a cozy cabin in the woods.  At first I wasn't going to colour it, but I did, I think it took something from the image.  I do have a few birthdays this month that this card would be perfect for.
