Congratulations to Leigh Penner! Be sure to email your FREE stamp selection as well as your shipping information to customer service. And a big thank you to everyone who played along! There was some fabulous artwork shared this week!
Love this technique! I hope I find time to play along this week.
So pretty, Dawn! I love stamping backgrounds!! And I love how your lovely towel coordinates with your card!
Beautiful card! I love this technique. Can’t wait to try it again. 🙂
Thanks, Dawn and Nicole. I am a fan of all things Papertrey, and all things Dawn. I did not order Harvest Berries (I ordered Gratitude Journal instead) but it may have to make its way onto my list. I know about this technique, but never think to do it. Dawn makes it look so easy, I’m going to try it.
Making backgrounds is one of my favorite things to do :D. Love that flower stamp!
Pretty pretty and pretty, Dawn! Hope to find time to try this today. My Bloom Builder die has arrived too – so must get chores done so I can play. Thank you :o)
Goodie!! I’m off today and off to play….! Fabulous tutorial Dawn ~ thank you!
I was just thinking about how I could make a new background since I don’t have many background stamps! Great job, Dawn:)
I use different stamp sets to make my patterned paper a lot. I like that better than most patterned paper. It’s just so easy to match colors that way. I’m sure going to try this very design, thanks Dawn for the video. Oh by the way, Dawn came through LOUD and CLEAR. Maybe she could share some advice with Jen Ellefson, so we could hear her too.
This was so awesome!
Great video!!
I just finished doing this Make it Monday and I really enjoyed stretching my wings. I had one little bobble while stamping but I was able to cover it with my focal point so it didn’t matter. Love your card Dawn! 🙂 Thanks so much for a great video and tutorial!
Love this technique, thanks Dawn! 😉
Hey Dawn! This is such a great idea for a challenge! I am having a ball looking through all of the entries tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed making my own. This is one of my favorite ways to get inky! thanks for the tutorial and the great inspiration to try something a little different!
Was definitely a challenge to create background w/ non-background stamp and not mess up part way thru. Had to do a couple before I had one I liked enough to enter to be part of a 6″ x 6″ scrapbook layout for my Hot Air Balloon photos.
