I'm back today with another challenge from Serendipity Stamps!
Today's challenge was to use one of Serendipity's early images. I chose to work with the Window image.
I loved the vintage appeal of the image and wanted to run with that theme. I stamped the window onto Rustic Cream cardstock with Coffee Archival Ink (yum!). Then in an effort to just add a touch of color, I used chalk pastels to color in portions of the image. It is a subtle touch, I hope you can see it!I debated how I wanted to place my sentiment, Hands of Memory, another fantastic verse from Serendipity. Finally, I decided to trim the words out and have them follow the lines of the image. I kept everything else simple, just stitching a frame around the outside and layering it onto an embossed mat. I really like the final product!
I am so glad you could stop by today, I really appreciate it. Please be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see their take on the challenge!
