Serendipity Stamps - JULY Blog Hop!



Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps JULY Blog Hop!  
We have some GREAT new products this month.
I have two cards to show you and Western is definitely my theme today!

You should have arrived here from the talented:


This Western card has two new dies - Bandana and Howdy!  
The Bandana die is 3 1/4" square so it makes for a great small card. 
 I cut it in red and black and took some of the black pieces and glued them in.



I die cut the HOWDY three times and glued them together to make it extra thick.
It needed to be bold to stand out against the busy die.
Finished size is 4 1/8" square.



Isn't this cowgirl the cutest?  I colored her up with Prismacolor Pencils and blended them with Gamsol.  My card base and green strip are both embossed.



I used the Howdy die to cut into my liner and back it with red.
Finished size is 4 3/4" square.

Special:   Free shipping on all US orders of $15 or more Continental US only.

Wow! Love the use of red, black with the white cut outs on the bandana card. And the Howdy works so well raised as you did it. You did such a great job on the cowgirl card. Love the jute...nice touch. Your coloring is soo good. TFS

Love the bandana look of the first card. The sentiment in the form of a rope is a fun idea.
The little cowgirl is darling.
thanks for sharing some cute cards.
