Next up, Nina Brackett created two fabulous new stamp sets, Fanciful Tags and Grand Damask. I used both on my card. The Grand Damask image is so elegant and gorgeous and the Fanciful Tag images are the perfect fit for Spellbinders Fancy Tags dies.
I used the sentiment and oval shape from Fanciful Tags along with the coordinating Fancy Tags die. In the background I used the large damask image, inked up with Memento Angel Pink. Then I added some Rose Bud ink with my Memento marker. I also used the Fleur De Lis pendant die to layer.

To make the Wild At Heart Card, first I inked up the large image using Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Then I added Memento Tangelo on the bottom and along one side. It's hard to see the ink on the stamp in the photo, but if you look closely, if looks like a shadow on the bottom and side.
Next, I added Memento Lady Bug, this time just along the very outer edges of the bottom and sides.
Before stamping, I "huffed" on the image, then stamped. Here you can see how well the Memento inks blend when doing this technique. Just make sure your ink pads are nice and juicy. I've had my Memento inks for close to a year and out of these three colors, I've only had to re-ink the Cantaloupe, which I seem to use on almost every card. I love how long lasting these inks are!
Next, I stamped the large image again, this time in Memento Tuxedo Black. I used Copics to color the flowers, starting with Y17 in the flower center.
Added R89.
Added R29.
Added R24.
Added R22.
Filled in with Y35. Then I colored in the other two large flowers and cut them out.
I adhered the cut out flowers to the background with Pop Dots. I cut out the sentiment with circle Nestabilities and sponged with Memento Cantaloupe while it was still in the die. It was also adhered with Pop Dots. I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and used a Sweet Mango cardbase.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you are having a great day!
