Enjoy the Moment

The Enjoy the Moment stamp set was an all-attendee prize at OnStage at Home in November. I was completely baffled at how to use it.  I finally sat down to ink it up and this I what I came up with.  

I wanted a sunset sort of background, so I took my Blending Brushes and inked up my paper in Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz.  Then I stamped the image with Memento black and colored in lightly with light Old Olive and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.  I decided to use black behind both the sky panel and the image panel to make them pop.  The sentiment was stamped on Coastal Cabana and cut with Tasteful Label dies.  I use these dies so often!  I tied some Linen Thread around the image panel and popped the sentiment on top.  I finished by flicking a black Stampin’ Write maker lightly over the image panel.

I decided to make one more, as I almost always do.  This time I used Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz.  I  stamped the image on vellum with Basic Grey and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The sentiment was stamped with Basic Grey and cut with Tasteful Labels dies.  I tied some white bakers twine around the panel. The vellum was adhered with mini glue dots under the image a bit, and under the sentiment.  The Elegant Faceted Gems were added and I tucked mini glue dots under them as well.  I really enjoyed using this awesome stamp set once I got going!  There may be another coming up soon!!  Let me know which one you prefer.
