Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop. This months theme is Background Techniques!
I have created a background using one of my favourite stamping techniques... a stamped collage of images. This technique is fun, totally unique and can be used with any stamp set.
Lets take a closer look at this card. Heres the stamped panel before I added the sentiment. I always start with the largest images and work my way from the centre outwards.
You'll notice I roughed up the edges, I think it makes it look old and leathery. I used the outside edge of my scissors (closed) and ran it along the paper edge, pressing and going back n forth until the desired distressing is achieved.
I've gone for some unconventional colour choices here but I love ORANGE and PINKS together!
A quick inside stamping to match
This stamp set is available for purchase, its a great set!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hopefully I have inspired your creativity. I love reading your comments, be sure to leave me a quick hello below!
How fun - a great background technique and a great way to showcase a single stamp set. I like your unconventional colour combo - makes it pop.
