Serendipity Stamps -January Blog Hop #2!




Welcome to Serendipity's 2nd hop of 2018.  Mary gave us
the theme of "Anything Goes" so I pulled out my Oxide inks 
and this great Mill stamp.


When you have a beautiful detailed stamp like this one you 
can stamp it on a pretty background and you have a card!
Lately I've been using Bristol Smooth paper for my Oxide
backgrounds and I love it! Makes for smooth and easy blending.



Here is another version in different colors without the 
black frame.  When you don't have paper to match
your inked background, just use the same inks
on white paper for your mat and you've got a match!

Both cards are 4 1/4" square.

The HOP Prize is a $20 Serendipity Stamps Gift Certificate 
to a random commenter.  
You can leave comments from Wednesday through Sunday
 and Mary will announce the winner on January 22.

Serendipity's sale this month is
the INDIVIDUAL Floral Alphabet letters are 50% off.

So pretty in either color, Miriam! Green is my fave color so that one really caught my eye.

Love that you used "floating by" from the uplifting sentiment set with the Mill (and the stream)! A great match!
