Our theme this month is:
Believe - Create - Dream - Imagine
There was just something about a Dandelion Puff that seemed dreamy to me as a child. We would blow on those feathery little puffs and as the little seedlings were carried into the wind we would let our imaginations soar and make a wish! ........ As an adult I know that Dandelion Puffs are the enemy and must be destroyed! LOL But lets go with the dreamy childhood memory today, OK?
One of the things I love about Serendipity Stamps is that you can sometimes get different sizes of the of the stamps you love. For my next card I used a larger version of the same Dandelion Puff image.

These are so dreamy, love the soft sponging and such a fabulous way to show us 2 different ways to use one stamp x
Oh my goodness, Patti, these two cards are wonderful! They evoke such sweet memories of blowing on the dandelion puffs. Your color choices are perfect to get that magical quality. And to boot, you showed us two wonderful ways to use the same set. Fabulous! Hugs!
They are both gorgeous, Patti! Love the softness of the first card, nice way to show how versatile the stamps can be! I too used to love to blow those all o er the place then my dad told me I was making more weeds:( sounds sad but he is a great dad,just didn't want weeds on the lawn.
Dreamy, delicate and beautiful! I, too, remember blowing the dandelion puffs as a child, wondering where those little seeds of 'magic' would land on the journey I'd initiated. You've showcased these stamps marvelously! I was aiming for 'magic' with my cards, too (yours are far more beautiful)...great minds, right? *grin*

Dandelion wishes? A favorite childhood memory! Patti your cards are just beautiful!

Beautiful cards. The colors look so soft.
Wonderful card designs and love the soft colors. And, thanks for a memory from childhood for me too...blowing the puffs of dandelions into the air. Life was so simple back then I think and we got entertainment from the little things in life.
Wonderful and so delicate, just like dandelions!
Love the soft beautiful colors! And especially on the first one how you repeated the background color in the stamped dandelion image. Had to laugh at Marybeth's memories of her Dad scolding her about weeds. Now when I see a dandelion puff I pluck it and put it in the trash or I just stomp it into the dirt to keep the seeds from spreading further!
More dreamy-ness! Both on the cards and my wish list! TFS
Beautiful cards; love the soft, colorful background.
Just stunning Carol...your images are so soft and sweet. Just love your card.
Love the cards.
These are both soft, delicate and ever so PRETTY Patti!!
I love the soft blend of colors in these two cards. Of course, I'm partial to the dandelion image, too!
These are both so beautiful. I like dandelions as a stamp way more than I like them in my grass!
These are both so soft, light and stunning Patti!! Really love the feel of Summer breeze on these delicate beauties!! Well done!! HUGS
Love your designs and colors...they are as soft as the dandelion puffs. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
So soft, so delicate .... and it takes me back to the good ol' days when blowing on a dandelion made everything ok.

What a great way to use the dandelion puffs with just a splash of color behind the image. Your card are beautiful.
These are amazing!! I love the color you gave to the flower on the first card. Then reversing it on to the background on the second. Great design!
I love how you used the same image and created two very different looks - I love the softness of the first, and the drama of the dark colors on the second!
These are both so stunning! Love the colours and CAS designs.
