Tuesday July 13: Background Fun
Hi All! So the excitement begins today! This is my first card for the release of Background Fun. I simply sketched and cut out this basket shape and stamped it with the Woven Background stamp! You could also use a diecut. Or just stamp the background and add a handle! The possibilities are endless with this fun set! I used Distress Inks to shade my basket after stamping. This cute gingham ribbon and buttons are all available from Mark`s Finest Papers .
This is a second card I did using the cracked background. I just used a vase punch and stamped it! Popped it up and added flowers and the sentiment. Stamped a border inside the card and on the envelope. Don`t you just love this shade of green? Fabulous papers, premium paper craft packs, and paper flowers all available at Mark`s Finest Papers .
Be sure to stop by all the design team members blogs listed below!
Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day!!
