Hi bloggers, I'm here today with a couple of cards for this month's Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog! The challenges run monthly, but every two weeks, the design team will be posting some more inspiration for you!
This month the challenge is to use Buttons along with your Serendipity Stamps images or die cuts!
As the Design Team, we are asked to add a little extra to the challenge, so this fortnight we were asked to incorporate the Chalkboard technique, along with buttons.
I have made a couple of cards:
This first one is a fairly CAS one, using the sentiment stamp 'Just Living..', cut using nesties and layered with some Authentique patterned paper.
I added some buttons topped with gems for a little sparkle.
My next card is using the 'Retro Owl' stamp, teamed with the 'Hello' sentiment. I matted and layered with some papers from My Mind's Eye and some green Bazzill. I finished off with a wooden Prima button and some hemp.

I hope you feel inspired to give our button challenge a whirl! Here's the rest of the D.T to get your mojo going:

Beautiful cards Pauline! Love the fun chalkboard technique!
Never tried the chalkboard effect, but both your cards look fab, Pauline. Lovely words and embellishing on your first card, and I love the owl on your second card xx
Hi Pauline. Both cards are beautiful and I love that retro owl. Love the bling on the buttons.
Well, look at you making two cards!! Both wonderful!! I never tire of looking at cards made with this technique!! Glad you're settled and back with us!!
Great cards Pauline! Wonderful work with the chalkboard technique! Love the fun buttons too!
Both are FAB but that first one just speaks to my heart!
I love the blackboard technique and you've rocked it here! I particularly like the first one with the label shape layered over the floral background. Vicky x
Both cards are so fun and have such colorful papers to go with your wonderful chalkboards.
Gorgeous cards Pauline, love the very cute owl and fab design.

Very pretty cards! Fab chalkboard technique. I haven't given that technique a try in quite awhile. You've inspired me to do so again soon!:-)
Sorry I'm late Pauline! You did a beautiful job with the chalkboard technique - I can't believe you made two! The buttons look like candy on the first. And so smart to add a wooden one to the owl - it ties everything together!
Both are great cards! That Owl stamp is another stamp on my wish list! Smile.
I really like your blog background...the roses are so pretty!
Love both cards! That owl is too cute!!
