Three different stamps and ink colors were used on the background on each of these cards. The first card is 'glittered' which you probably can't see in the photo. A Faux Designer Paper technique was used to create the background of all 3 of these cards. When I first started stamping, I became a member of 'Technique Junkies', which gave me the tools I needed to use ink and paper in a more creative way. I created my own paper flower on the last card by simply cutting circles with decorative scissors out of matching paper, stamping on some vellum, crumpling them a bit and layering them up. The stamps and paper are all Club Scrap. I hope your week is Extraordinary...
