STAMPtember: Gracias
I got the new Berry Wreath die set and Say It In Spanish stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and I created this colorful thank you card with them!
I started by spraying Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn, Enchanted Mariner, and Seedless Preserves Distress Spray Stain on two pieces of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. This created a very rich and regal rainbow background. I dried them with the Ranger heat tool, and die cut one with the largest stitched rectangle in the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle set.
I then started to build the wreath. I diecut the circle with berries and the leaves with black cardstock. I added the main part to the card with black foam squares, and then started tucking in the leaves with foam squares as well.
I then diecut the small berries from Gold Metallic cardstock and the larger berries from Gold Sparkle Cardstock. What is great about this die set, is the berries are a cluster, you die cut it once and you have enough for the whole wreath.
I added the berries by dabbing on some liquid glue and using a gem pick-up tool to place the cardstock berries on top.
For the sentiment, I took the other background I created and stamped “Gracias” from the new Say it in Spanish stamp set – I used Versafine Onyx Black, and ultrafine clear embossing powder, to get a nice clean black emboss.
I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the background, so the colors would match up where I am going to add the sentiment on the card front. I also used the Cottontail Powder Tool to take moisture out of the paper before embossing.
I hope this bright thank you card inspires you! Share in the comments what your favorite part of STAMPtember is!
Hope you have a fabulous time during all of the STAMPtember celebrations!!

I then matted that on gold metallic cardstock, and raised the whole sentiment off the card with foam squares

Wow! Your use of black and gold for the wreath is amazing and really stands out from the colorful background but I think it would look amazing against almost any background.
Pretty card-the background add a lot of interest, and I’m glad to see the use of the Gracias die.

I really like the wreath in gold and black against the colorful background. That die is on my wish list. What I like best about Stamptember is all the inspiration I get from the designers. It is such fun to see each designer’s take on a given product.
