Background #4 Thinking of You

Background #4 – Thinking of You

I need to move on with a different type of background.  However, I made this background paper a few days ago and wanted to use before moving forward.    I adore the die that covers the background.

Background #3 - Love

I made a craft list of techniques I would like to try in 2019.  The first one is handmade backgrounds;  this is the third one.  It combines text and images just like the challenge recently.  Since its close to Valentines Day the card is made with that theme in mind (the hearts and text). 

To make the size circle I just reversed the stamp I was using for the heart with text to make a circle (on the back of the stamp) and then turned it over to the correct side to stamp the heart with text on top of circles).

If you haven't used the Guide Lines Paper from Papertrey, it really helps line up images if the are small enough for the lightly pre-printed lines and circles.  I love it this paper.  Its also a wonderful look to put a very small image or flower in between the circles but I thought that would be too busy with the text.  However, I have made such a background and love it but haven't decided how to showcase it and make the final card.  Coming soon . . .

Love Negative Die Cut Backgrounds

Papertrey Make It Monday #349

This Monday’s challenge was called, “Negative Die Cut Backgrounds” by Ashley Newell of Papertrey Ink.  Here example had white on top, but every time I tried white card stock on the top layer, I could not see the die cut out form.  Maybe I could have glued the image down in more places than just the edges now that I think of it.

Fun challenge.  All products used are Papertrey Ink, unless otherwise stated:
