Serendipity - Summer's Last Hurrah #35


I love, love, love this stamp from Serendipity, it is at the top of my list of favorites. There is just something about these three dresses hanging on the clothes line. Like the end of summer and the faded colors, ready to put away until next year, so sweet. Perfect for this challenge at Serendipity don't you think and since my dresses are paper pieced, I am entering them at Virginia's View too. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  8. Totally agree with you Kim - so sweet. I love the papers you've used...they've given the dresses a real vintage feel. I can imagine it would be a completely different card, depending on the papers

  21. So gorgeous!!!! What a wonderful stamp set and can see why you love it so much. Did you fussy cut these out or do they come with matching dies? If you hand cut them, your amazing with a pair of scissors!! And I love the patterned papers you chose for them, they really look like proper fabric. I think its a winner!!!!!!

  30. Given that we have SNOW (grrr....) those lovely dresses would be frozen stiff if they were on a clothes line! I will, however, "imagine" that the days are still warm, the breeze still gentle, and the dresses still have opportunity for a couple more weeks' wearing! Fabulous card...and I'll take one of each of these dresses, please; my wardrobe could use them!
    Hugs~c
