Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Spec-Taco-Lar Card using the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! I am so happy the Rays of Light Stamp Set carried over with the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to make a Floating Card by using the cute images from the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set! Once my pieces were coloured with my Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut, I arranged them close together on a piece of Basic White and pressed a piece of Glad Press’n Seal to hold them together. After die cutting the stitched circle, I was able to transfer the die cuts to my stitched circle with dimensionals behind each piece. After removing the Glad Press N Seal, every die cut was perfectly in place with the stitching from the die on the pieces along the edge. It meant a lot of colouring and fussy cutting, but I’m sure as you know, I love colouring! Lol!

Next, I embossed the Rays of Light Stamp Set in white on Granny Apple Green. I love how the rays spread out from my focal point really highlighting it!

Once the focal point was added to the card, I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it out. I thought it would be fun to have a setting sun behind my cactus dude and sponged the die cut sun with my Blending Brushed to give it a bit of dimension.

I added some Pearl Hearts coloured with my Dark Poppy Parade Blend, but you could do the same with rhinestones or pearls.
