Another day in September and another gorgeous STAMPtember collaboration stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. Today's stamp set is by Memory Box and is a 6"x8" stamp called Beautiful Moments. It is sold alone or as a bundle with a set of matching dies. Here is an image of the bundle:
And here is my card. I told you I would have a few non-slimline cards coming, so this is the start of that streak!
For the background of this card, I used the new embossing folder in the STAMPtember release called Sparkling Facets. It's so pretty, but subtle enough for a background on a busy card. I embossed it with white cardstock and then die-cut it with the A2 Thin Frame Die and attached it to a cherry red card base.
I stamped the two large floral groupings and two each of the smaller flower accessories with Latte Ink on white cardstock. I planned on "no-line" images, but ended up outlining them with a very fine tip Micron pen as they just needed something! I like how thin the lines are though. I colored them all in with my assortment of colored pencils. I used a white Uniball gel pen to add dots on the berries and lines on the leaves. Unfortunately I didn't have the set of matching dies which would have been very handy for this one! I fussy cut out all of these images!
I arranged the images with one of the large floral groupings on the top and one on the bottom of the background. I slightly trimmed off the edges of petals and leaves to fit. I then layered the smaller pieces over and under the larger ones using foam tape beneath them to add depth. I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set on a white cardstock banner using Carnation Red embossing powder. I then attached that between the two floral groups. I added some Honeybee Teal Rainbow Gem Stickers on the banner.
I love floral stamp sets, so this one was right up my alley. It was fun to color and arrange the flowers together. This Beautiful Moments stamp set by Memory Box is definitely one I would have purchased if I didn't design with it. I think I would have even splurged on the dies for this one and bought the Beautiful Moments bundle as it includes dies for the sentiments too!
