SSCB #47 - Backgrounds

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog! We love seeing what you make with your Serendipity Stamps and Dies. Once a month (we switched to the SECOND Wednesday of the month) we post a new challenge with a central theme. The design team provides samples for inspiration at the beginning, and then again at the half way point of the challenge (on the FOURTH Wednesday), but you get a whole month to join us!

The rules are simple... play along using at least one Serendipity Stamps image on your submission and link it below. You don't have to have a blog to play along - you can link your designs to any on line gallery. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not display a Serendipity Stamps image.

**********
Our winner from the last challenge SSCB#46 Anything Goes is Kara Lynne from Kara Lynne's Card Designs - isn't it clever how she used the die for a stencil?  



The lucky winner of the $20 gift certificate is Becky Sennholtz!

Please contact Jeanne at serendipityblogchallenge@gmail.com for your prize.
