SSCB#4 - Have a Care

Welcome to Challenge #4 of the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog!  This week our challenge is titled "Have a Care" and we are to use one of the "bonus" stamps that all customers receive for free when they place an order in the Serendipity store (here is a link to the bonus stamps).  I have several now, but the one that always intrigued me was Big or Small, Save them All (Big or Small).  I must be pretty clueless because I always thought this saying was intended to be used to save pets.  I know, not very smart, am I?  I now realize this sentiment is one of the slogans for Breast Cancer Awareness.  It totally makes sense to me now, duh!  Why didn't I get it before?  As I was scanning the web in search of inspiration, I came across a baking site.  Breast Cancer - Baking, not much in common, but I did see the cutest cookies made by a company called Make Me, Cake Me.  Here is the cookie that inspired my card:

Make Me Cake Me

Is that not the cutest cookie?  As soon as I saw this I thought I could adapt this idea and use one of Serendipity Stamps beautiful dies to make a cute little bikini top, perfect to go along with my breast cancer slogan.  I used Serendipity Stamps Heart Scroll and Heart Scroll Outline die to cut my bikini.  I did a little trimming and I think it looks just like a bikini that someone (other than me) might wear if they were brave enough...I definitely am not!  My easel card is 5 x 5 and I used Spellbinder Postage dies and PTI raspberry fizz and fine linen patterned papers.  I used the sentiment to prop up my card.  I added a few little heart rhinestones and a some pink stickles on the pink breast cancer ribbons.

Hopefully I have not offended anyone, I made sure to add a white backing to the bikini to make it clear that this is definitely a bathing suit...not a bra...no X-rated cards from me!

I hope that you will play along with us this week...our Have a Care challenge runs for two weeks and no worries if you don't have one of Serendipities "bonus" images.  Mary Lee, the owner of Serendipity has provided a digital image that can be used to make your cards.  Just copy and paste it into a word document and you are set!  All you have to do is use one Serendipity image to enter the challenge, anything else on your card is up to your own imagination.  There is a great prize up for grabs too...$20 off on your next Serendipity order.
