Have you ever had a picture in your mind of the colors that you wanted a card? Or had cardstock colors picked out but couldn't find a matching paper? Me too! So I have decided to create a series of backgrounds that will help fill in the void where our paper stashes fail us!
This background stamp is just almost 5x5 inches and is so versatile! Take a look!

This background took me 5 minutes! Honest! You spend more time than that digging for just the right paper....you know you do! LOL! Scroll down to see how simple it is....
First you need to make sure you have a mouse pad or something to stamp this large of a stamp on....otherwise you will end up with missing parts of your image.
1. Ink your stamp with Versamark embossing pad.
2. Apply embossing powder to your image and heat with embossing gun.
3. Color in your dots with Cotton Candy Tombow or Copic marker.
4. Draw your Fresh Papaya line as shown....I didn't watercolor it or anything! I used my Fresh Papaya Tombow marker, but you could use a Copic marker too.
5. Assemble card! So simple but so pretty!

Katie designed this card.....I just love what she did with her background stamps! Just gorgeous!
.........................................................................
Another way to add a subtle bit of interest to your cards....color on color.

Tricia designed this card....again, a very subtle way to add interest in the background.

Now I have some tips for you on this one....and a little download :-)
Some people just can't random stamp to make backgrounds....their minds don't work that way....I've seen it first hand in classes! So I created a little grid to help you create evenly spaced backgrounds. Scroll down for the FREE download!
I used a lightboard to see my grid through my cardstock....if you don't have a lightboard, you can tape it to a window or put a lamp under a glass table top.
Make sure to not miss the flowers on the edges. Just because you can't fit the whole flower on the card doesn't make it any less important!
Enjoy!

This background I created by embossing on the black stripes. I wanted to watercolor this, so I need channels to hold the water.

Ribbon: Tropical Mist
Tools: Cricut cuts: Storybook Cartridge: Letter I, shift, accent blackout, 2.5 (Strawberry Jam piece), Letter I, shift, 4 (Fresh Papaya yellow flower)

I followed Katie and used my copic markers to make this striped background:

I used the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder to give it a little dimension.
