Serendipity Stamps Summertime Release Blog Hop Day 2

Good Morning!

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps new release blog hop. The Design Team is sharing samples using some new products being released by Serendipity Stamps.

Today we are sharing some new stamps from artist Natalie Seaton and Moon Cookie Gallery. Natalie's floral stamps are so cute and whimsical, and I am looking forward to using all of them. If you are following along with the hop, you should have arrived here from Jenny's blog. Miriam is the first stop if you'd like to join along.

Comment for prizes again today - a random drawing from comments left on the DT blogs will win some of the goodies we're sharing today. Deadline for comments is Sunday, May 5th - winners will be announced on the Serendipity Stamps Blog on Monday May 6th.

To see all the new products, check the store here.

My card today uses the new Butterfly Garden stamp.


These images are just screaming to be colored, and I thought it would be fun to give them a slightly messy watercoloring. After stamping the image onto watercolor paper, I used watercolors to color the images. I made sure my paintbrush was nice and juicy and colored outside of the lines. I love how the colored blended together.

After it was dry, I added some sparkly Stickles just for good measure.


Cathy will be your next stop along the hop. Have a great day!
