Creating a Patterned Background with Stamps | Agnieszka Malyszek

I love making stamped backgrounds with small non-background stamps. This is definitely a great way to stretch the versatility of your stamp sets and a great way to add a personalized touch to every card, Project Life® cards or scrapbook layouts. Depending on what kind of stamp or stamps you're using and the way you are using them, you can create geometric patterns or whimsical backgrounds. There are lots of possibilities, really!

Today I would like to show you how I created a card with a stamped background. I started by stamping two images from a stamp set called Best Stamp Ever with Emerald City ink. As you can see I chose to stamp onto a middle part of my card base.

Then I used a combination of watercolors and inks to color my background.

I wanted to make it the focal point of my card so I decided to keep my embellishments to a minimum. I die cut the “hello” word from a purple cardstock and added Glossy Accents to make it shine and stand out a little.

Lastly, I used a circle die cut from a white cardstock, white thread and wood veneer stars to finish my card off.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you feel inspired to create your own stamped backgrounds!

Supplies: Best Stamp Ever Stamp Set; Mister Huey's Watercolor Set; Color Theory Ink Pad: Emerald City, Something Blue, Deja Blue; Hello Craft Die; Nested Circles Dies; Glossy Accents; Studio Calico Wood Veneer Star Sequin Shapes
