Background Stamping Series Post #5
This post is part of a series showing different ways to use a background stamp.
Background stamps are typically large, intended to cover the whole card front.
Today's post shows 2 cards that use the stamp
on a smaller piece of paper as an accent strip.
These are both very simple cards
The eye-catching feature of both is
the foil strip and the fact the
background image is heat embossed.
Heat embossing adds an extra shine and elegance to a project.
With both cards the main focal point is
the sentiment displayed on punched layers.
the sentiment displayed on punched layers.
If you look closely at the sentiment below you'll see lots of layers.
BOTH the black and white layers were made with a single punch
In other words the punched piece framed itself!
The trick is to cut the black piece into 4 pieces
and pull them each out a little to make the frame.
This is several years old with a different punch, but the concept is the same.
Both of these cards used the
Breathtaking Bouquet Background Stamp.

and for the sentiment on the brown card
I used the Label Me Lovely Punch
