Have you ever wondered how else you can use your detailed background art stamps. Today with this card I have stamped my art stamp a number of times with different coloured inks and die cut into them to create elements for a focal point. I have used pennant shaped dies, but you can use whatever designs you have in your stash.

Create a background

Apply pearl Starlights paint (from Imagination Crafts) through a 6x6 inch stencil. Allow to dry and cut down to size.

Stamp your art stamp

Ink your art stamp with a selection of your favourite colours and create a number of impressions.

Choose your die

Die cut your stamped impression with your chosen die design.

Create the mat

Cut a square of white card stock, 0.5cm larger all round than your stencilled piece. Ink a section of your background stamp (as shown in the photo, approx a 2cm strip) using a complimentary colour to the die cuts you have created. Stamp a frame border around each edge of the white square card.

Assemble

Attach the pennants to the front of the card, using 3D foam to add dimension. Wrap and hand tie a white twine bow around the top of the pennants. Stamp and heat emboss in white a sentiment onto black card, and attach to card front with 3D foam.

I hope this will inspire you to use your detailed background stamps in a new way.

See you again soon,
