Subtle Fall Paisley and Posies

Version b crop

This is one of the cards I offered at our recent stamping event. We have kicked off our Fall stamping and I wanted to jump in with a non-tradtional color scheme. I choose to have a beautiful Soft Sky base, with a dark Early Espresso accent piece and then popped some color with the Cherry Cobbler in the stamped background. I smiled a couple times when I got called over to the table and the ladies said they didn't get this piece of paper in their kit. Just goes to show you really can make your own paper that will be stunning and can be in any color combination! My tips for stamping your own background are 1. Start with the largest stamp first. Add four or five in various directions, making sure most are just at the edges. 2. Add the accent color pop next stamping one in each of the spaces between the larger stamped images. 3. Fill in the white spaces with the smallest stamp.
