It's Clare with you today and I am sharing a recent make where I have used a fabulous background stamp to create the base of my card.
First of all using my Tim Holtz stamp press, I dabbed the stamp with a selection of pinks from the Distress Oxide range, spritzed the stamp, with water and stamped the watery pattern onto the card. I dried the card and then moved the stamp up and across, ever so slightly, and stamped with black ink. I love the crisp, fine detail of this stamp and the watery effect underneath really lifts it off the page.
I wanted a flower to go onto my card so using one of the blooms from Darkroom door's Fine Flowers Vol.2 I stamped onto some card that had co-ordinating colours with the background.

It's Clare with you today and I am sharing a recent make where I have used a fabulous background stamp to create the base of my card.
For this card I have used Studio Light's Background stamp #182
I wanted a flower to go onto my card so using one of the blooms from Darkroom door's Fine Flowers Vol.2 I stamped onto some card that had co-ordinating colours with the background.
I wanted to keep a lot of the focus on the background so I added a die cut card ribbon and die cut sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to stop by the Topflight store and check for regular offers. Remember there is a different designer on the blog every weekday so check back tomorrow for some more inspiration!
Happy Crafting,
Clare
