Background Stamp Partial Stamping

Background Stamping Series Post #4

continuing the conversation.  Post #1 introduced background stamping

This post is a reminder that you don't have to use the whole stamp 

Try stamping just the edge or angling the stamp on the paper.

The edge of the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp is very pretty

and has a nice finished look when you stamp just along the edge.

  

You can very how far in you stamp 

and whether the card is vertical or horizontal

The card at the top of the post uses strips of cardstock 

to finish off the edge of the stamp.

The rest of the focal piece was easy to put together from scraps

and the Medium Daisy Punch and the Sprig Punch.
