Serendipity Stamps #10 - Stamped Background



Hi all, it's a new challenge over at Serendipity Stamps , and for the next fortnight, we would like to see a stamped background using a stamp that is not meant for a background.


I have used the lovely Floral Dragonfly stamp from Serendipity Stamps for my background, stamped in Memento Peanut Brittle and Pistachio inks.


I layered the stamped panel onto some Certainly Celery card, and wrapped some two tone hemp cord around the bottom.

I then added the Serendipity Stamps sentiment, from the Everyday Words Small Vertical set, a little paper rose and die cut leaves, and a clear gem.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some fabulous inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
