Moments of Thanks - Stampin' Up!® Gathering Moments

   My card today has lots of layers and texture and uses products from a few different groups.  It ended up being quite heavy so I think it might be an in person kind of card!  That or I'll need a good padded envelope!

  This card started for me with the colors.  I knew I wanted to use Secret Sea, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie and Coastal Cabana to make a fall card.  So I  just started adding layers starting with the background with a piece of Peaceful Garden DSP in this nice botanical pattern in Secret Sea.  Next is a banner in Basic White with the top torn and embossed with the Damask Designs embossing folder.

  The next layer is a vellum square (keep an eye on the November Online Exclusive release for newly packaged vellum!), then a Secret Sea Stylish Shape die cut square.  And finally some stamping lol!  I used the crosshatch pattern stamp from the Gathering Moments stamp set to cover the whole square.

  A die cut circle comes next and then more stamping.  I used the Gathering Moments images in the various colors I listed above and die cut them and added them around the circle using some dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped on a piece of Coastal Cabana and then a smaller strip of Cajun Craze is behind it with all the ends torn and popped on dimensionals.

  And now for some gold embellishments.  I added a few loose gold sequins as well as a large gold hoop from the Modern Christmas suite collection.  Remember I said it was a heavy card?  This is why lol but it's such a cool accent isn't it?  I used rolled up glue dots to secure it to the card front which seems to work pretty well.

  I enjoyed the many layers and textures on this card but I don't think I could make all my cards this layer heavy or I'd go broke mailing them out lol!

   Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
