Creating Backgrounds

I want to share with you a really simple background that you can create using sentiment stamps, for this project I repeatedly stamped the Happy Birthday clear sentiment from the 'Sentiments' set 30-025 using alternating Memento ink colours; Paris Dusk, Pear Tart (got to love that name!) and Cantaloupe onto white card.

The background was then mounted onto a scrap of Navy card and then mounted onto a green card blank.  The stars were cut using a Sizzix bigs die and the circles from a Spellbinders Circles Die.  The Best Wishes is also from the Transparent set 'Sentiments' 30-025 and Brother is an old stamp that I bought years ago at a local craft fayre (sorry I can't recall the make).

Have you checked out the Penny Black blog this week?  They are showcasing some of the Amazing new stamp collection...I have to say as soon as I saw it; I knew I wanted EVERY stamp, they are FABULOUS! Check some of them out here.

Well as Tigger would say TTFN .....(Ta Ta For Now)
