Magical greetings with serendipity paper
I made these two cards for my monthly card exchange!! I was working on these serendipities a few weeks ago and because they were still on my desk I chose to use them for these cards. I cut them with the largest labels framelit (SU) of the set and punched a slot (SU) on one side. I found two pieces of coordinating cardstock for the backgrounds and embossed them with a swirl embossing folder (TH). I added coordinating grosgrain ribbon to the left hand one and white vintage seam binding to the right hand one. I glued the ends to the back of the embossed layers with double sided tape before I adhered them to white card fronts. I laser printed the digital greetings which I downloaded from Pink Cat Studio and embellished them with gel pens. I die cut them with circle Nesties, layered them over a coordinating scallop circle (Nesties) and added them to the cards using 3D foam tape.
Serendipity is a wonderful technique for using up scraps. I should use it more often!! It might be a good "Art Every Day" project for me because I always have scraps sitting around on my desk. You can check out my other projects using this technique by clicking HERE!

Very nice Therese, love how you slit the labels for the ribbon embellishment
