2 Very Cool Background Techniques both in One Project!

Happy Saturday! I've been watching a lot of Stampin' Up videos over the past few days. Oh my goodness. The talent out there blows my mind, and the ideas and techniques people come up with. WOW!

This project incorporates 2 of the background techniques I've learned about this week. Here's the card I created using both of the described background techniques below:

Stampin' Up Cardstock:

Basic Black

Whisper White

Regal Rose (r)

Garden Green

Stampin' Up Inks:

Marina Mist

Pistachio Pudding

Pink Pirouette

Basic Black

Stampin' Up Whisper White Baker's Twine, Basic Jewels (Pearls), and Subtles Designer Series Buttons

1) Background stamping with left over rubber from your stamp sets (just start snipping random pieces off and arrange on a clear block however you want. This is an old clear block I won from a hop last year. Yes, I know... it needs cleaning.

2) Background stamping using painter's tape or masking tape (tear off a strip of tape, put sticky part down on ink pad and rub your finger across heavier in some places than others, and then place on cardstock and rub your finger across again to transfer the ink to the cardstock.)

How easy and cool are those 2 background techniques? Love 'em both!
