1 BACKGROUND STAMP 4 CARDS

This card features SIMON SAYS STAMP GIFT BOXES background stamp.  I stamped it twice, one in white and embossed in white, and one with Versamark and embossed in gold. I then cut up

the stamped image so I could get two cards out of each image.

 I used distress inks to make a blended background and the embossed ink make a resist for the inks.  On two of the cards I dripped a bit of water and perfect pearls and on the other two I splattered some KREMER GOLD PAINT.  I mounted on black, then white and placed on Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock.  I used the same die cut for all the cards (unfortunately I am writing this away from home and I can't remember who makes this but will add that info when I return in 2 weeks.) I used a gold glitter card stock from Simon and a black shiny cardstock from ERIN LEE CREATIVE.  I cut 3 layers of cardstock and glued them together for dimension.  I finished off with some sequins and some gold baubles from Trinity Stamps.  Hope this helps you to stretch your background stamps!
