Today, I chose to use the products from the Delicate Desert Suite. Desert Details Bundle consists of a distinctive stamp set with a variety of detailed dies. The Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper and Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper are absolutely stunning. Overall, this combination of products adds a definitive Southwestern feel to the cards.
I chose a pattern from the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper that reminded me of a sunset. Next, I die cut a layer from the Soft Succulent Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper. The colors in, both, layers complimented one another. I carried the copy from the Metallic Specialty Paper through by die cutting some leaves from Brushed Metallic Copper Foil. I, also, heat embossed the sentiment using Copper Embossing Powder.

Distinctive stamps create different opacities in a single stamped image. To put it simply, there are variations in color within that image. To get a darker color, I used the Stamparatus by Stampin’ Up! and stamped my image twice.
