Today I thought I would share with you how to create your own background paper for your card. You can choose any of your stamps to do this. I have chosen the Back to Back Blooms as there are a few small stamps which were perfect for what I wanted to achieve. I used the same colour ink pad as I had for my base card.
Here are the two cards that I made one using Calypso Coral and the other Bermuda Bay.
Products you will need to recreate the cards:-
- True Love Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- Back to Back Blooms Stamp Set
- Butterfly Bijou DSP
- Many Messages Stamp Set
- Messages Die
- Basic White cardstock
- Bermuda Bay cardstock
- Calypso Coral cardstock
- Basic Black cardstock
- Stampin’Blends Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Old Olive
- Stampin’ Classic Ink Pads, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral
- Versamark Clear ink pad
- White Embossing Powder
- Wink of Stella
Measurements & Instructions
- Base card – 14.8cm x 21cm, score on long side at 10.5cm – fold and burnish score line
- Basic White mat – 14.3cm x 10cm – stamp your images randomly on to this piece of cardstock using the coordinating ink pad, to create your background. – adhere this to your base card
- Cut a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to measure 9.5cm x 4.5cm and adhere this flat across the centre of the card.
- Fussy cut a flower spray from your True Love DSP. Colour using your colour of choice and finish off with some Wink of Stella on your flowers. Place some dimensionals on the back of your flower heads and place onto your card.
- Ink up your sentiment using the Clear Versamark Ink pad and stamp onto Basic Black cardstock. then sprinkle your white embossing powder. Use your heat tool to set the powder.
- Die cut the sentiment out. This can be placed wherever you wish on your card, with or without dimensionals.
