These cards feature serendipity collage backgrounds which I made up a while back. It is a great project to work on when you are between projects. I stamped the backgrounds and embossed them with an all over design embossing folder (Latttice -SU). I mounted both of these to coordinating green cardstock and then to coordinating card fronts. For the first one, I chose a dry embossed image of tulips which I created using a brass stencil and a stylus. I sponged the edges and mounted it to my card front and then added a small layered greeting below and to the right a bit. The second one, features a colour printed birdie image and a friends greetings (Melonheadz) which I sponged and backed with green cardstock after overlapping them in the corners. I am stretching my boundaries a little and trying new layouts and ways of doing things!! Fun!!!!! Therese
