SSCB #4 - Have a Care

Hi all, I have my card today for the Serendipity Stamps challenge Blog, albeit a few days late, but I made it!

This next fortnight, our theme is to 'Have a Care'.  Use one of the Have a Care images Serendipity Stamps offers free with your purchase.  Designs are to highlight a cause (examples including but not limited to Breast Cancer Awareness, Adoption, Recycle, Pet Adoption, etc).  Please note that a Serendipity Stamps image must be displayed somewhere on your design.   Don't have a stamp?  You can grab our free digital image HERE- just cut and paste into Word.

So today my card features the free image which you can nab from the challenge blog. I love the elegant swirls, and regency style font - so pretty!

 I have created my own background paper using the beautiful Spencerian Flourishes Cling Set, stamped in Memento Espresso ink onto naturals Ivory cardstock.

With the theme of recycling, I used some tan coloured satin ribbon which I kept from some new clothes - they are the little loops of ribbon manufacturers use on the inside of the shoulders of tops. I wrapped this around the background four times. 

I then cut a label in Soft suede card, and a smaller label in Naturals ivory, stamped with the  recycle sentiment. I added some clear gems, and attached to the card. I topped it off with a recycled flower and raffia bow, which I had used for a wine tag two years ago.

I hope you feel inspired to join in with our 'Have a Care' challenge this fortnight, don't forget if you don't have a Serendipity Stamps image or die cut, you can always nab the free Recycle sentiment. Or if you make a purchase from the store, you get a choice of other free images too. so what are you waiting for?!

I would like to enter this into this month's Pretty Little Ribbon shop challenge, to use Flower & Ribbon, and Creative Inspirations which is Anything goes with the option of flowers.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
