Today’s share features a really great background idea that you can make with supplies you likely already have in your stash! I’m accenting this fun technique with the beautiful almond plant image from the Lovely & Sweet stamps and die set.
For the background, I created a simple mask with the Everyday Details Dies. I love how these dies have the dots, and this particular one has the dots on both the cut out image and also the negative space left behind.
I used the new Summer Splash ink for the background color. Using the negative space from the large rectangle Everyday Details die, ink through the mask.
To create the waves, texture, or visual layers shown, use a torn piece of copy paper or post it note to ink the background in sections. See the short video below for a demonstration.
For this sample, I used just the stamped image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set, stamping it twice, once on the background, and again on the top layer of Basic White. This is basically a variation of the spotlight technique.
For this version, I rotated the design 90 degrees as well as cut the image out with the Lovely & Sweet dies. This gives additional depth and allows the image to extend beyond the rectangle.
