Hello! It's time for another exclusive limited edition stamp set for STAMPtember! Clearly Besotted has joined forces with Simon Says Stamp with this beautiful floral layering stamp set, My Best Friend. I couldn't make just one card with this beautiful color layering stamp set and instead made three! Beautiful flowers, an embossed greeting, and an inlay gilded frame really make these cards stand out!
On A2 sized smooth white cardstock backgrounds I stamped the florals and leaves using the following color combinations:
Orange: Melon, Clementine, Orange Peel
Aqua: Spring Rain, Audrey Blue, High Dive
Pink: Twirling Tutu, Teeny Bikini, Hot Lips
A greeting from the My Best Friend stamp set was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
Each panel had a thin frame die cut from it using a Simon Says Stamp Frame Die. The thin frame was discarded. A piece of Stick It was adhered to cardstock and then run through a die cutting machine with the same frame. The backing paper was removed from the frame and Nuvo Radiant Gold Gilding Flakes were adhered to the sticky frame. Excess gilding flakes were rubbed away with a Blender Brush.
The three pieces were then adhered to a white top fold card base creating an inlay design.
The cards were finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Pale Gold.

Gorgeous card, Nichol. The flowers are just stunning! And, I love how you did the thing gilding flake frame. It really adds the perfect finishing touch. I've been enjoying your STAMPtember posts, along with all the others. I do not know how you keep up, but keep posting! Thanks for the inspiration.

Nichol, these cards are absolutely stunning! The white gel pen detail really sends the flowers over the top! This is the first time I'm seeing the gorgeous gilding flakes and now I think I must have them, lol. I'm so grateful to you for your amazing video tutorials.
