July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Highlight Reel

Welcome to our blog hop showing ideas for using the CTMH July Stamp of the Month, Highlight Reel.  If you've just come from Gina Brandstetter's blog you're on the right track.  You can see the entire list of participants at Melinda Everitt's blog hop list.

I thought the elements in this month's stamp set would be perfect in clusters on a layout. I was thrilled to see elements I could use to make one about my grandson's band concert.  I used papers and pml cards from the Documented paper pack and two others. The background paper is an Almond pattern from the Basics Fundamental Paper pack and the burlap is from Fresh Air.

Except for the black music notes, I highlighted the elements I used by including gold embossing, glitter paper, or embellishments.  Here are close-ups of specific elements.  I stamped the arrow in Eggplant and gold embossed the word "CONCERT" on the arrow matted on gold glitter paper:.

I stamped "GOOD TIMES" with Eggplant ink and matted on gold glitter paper. I stamped black music notes and added my words with a gold arrow clip and gold glitter gems on part of the Documented 3" x 4" pml card.:

 I stamped "a day to REMEMBER" oval with Eggplant ink, trimmed near the outer oval and matted on a gold glitter paper oval cut with the basic oval die. Then I gold embossed the outline heart on part of the pml card trimmed for the detail above, cut and added it to the oval, embellished with a gold glitter gem.

You can get this stamp of the month for a greatly reduced price of $5.00 with a $50 purchase or you can purchase it for the full price of $17.95.
