Breathtaking Background Stamp side strip

Background stamps like Breathtaking Bouquet can be used in many ways.

For today's card it was used to create an accent strip on the side.

Have you tried coloring on colored cardstock.  

its a very interesting effect.

This image was gold embossed on light brown cardstock 

before coloring with alcohol markers.

Paper Piecing using Breathtaking Bouquet - Part 1

The large flower image on the Breathtaking Bouquet background
stamp works well for today's fun technique: Paper Piecing

The concept is easy:

stamp the same image several times on different color paper

Cut each image and reassemble the parts in different colors

For this first card I simply layered 

the yellow piece on the darker base

 The gold heat embossing adds some extra shine.

With the darker colors and "busyness" of the image

the challenge was how to make the sentiment

fit in, be seen but not overwhelm the card

The solution was to heat emboss on Vellum 

and layer on punched pieces.

Today's paper pieced project was a simple 1-layer card.
For an example of more complicated paper-piecing
check out this card using the (retired) Lovely Lattice stamp set.

Or check back tomorrow for a more complicated card
made with Breathtaking Bouquet.

Seriously the Best Breathtaking Bouquet

Background Stamping Series Post #6

Coloring the image

This card again uses the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp

colored with markers
scroll back through the last several days to see other cards made with this stamp

The flowers really "pop" in the background
when you apply a little color.

 Adding to the contrast, both the sentiment and the background stamp
were heat embossed in white.

I really like big sentiments
and the "hello friend" from Seriously the Best stamp set
seemed like the perfect cheery words for this bright card.
