Background Stamping Series Post #2
 To add richness and depth to a project,
try using a background stamp.
See the difference a background stamp can make.

This card features the Good Morning Magnolia flower as the focal point
over a floral background made with the Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp.

This is a "wow" card - note all the layers and the bling

Here are a few more special touches worth mentioning.
  1. The Leaves were stamped in dark green ink on matching paper and cut out
  2. The Flower Layers: I stamped it 2x in dark brown ink on vanilla cardstock
    Using a scissors I cut one full flower but only the center of the 2nd flower.
    For subtle extra texture and depth I curled the top flower layer and used Mini-Glue Dots  to adhere only the center of the top flower layer.

  3. The sentiment was "popped up" by adhering it to the card with Dimensionals
  4. The background was stamped in the light green ink on matching light green paper
  5. The rhinestones were colored with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends (which is an alcohol based marker, the only kind that works to color the plastic of the rhinestones)
