This week on Papertrey Ink's MIM, Dawn McVey had a very inspiring how to video.
She showed us how to take a background stamp, such as this beautiful PTI Wrought Iron,
and stamp on top of it with another stamp. I used the vine from PTI's Stitched Sentiments.
This makes a one of a kind original background that is designed by YOU.
I used the background I made and added a Delightful Dahlia with a little glitter to create a sympathy card for a dear friend.
Thanks, Dawn. This idea certainly makes some lovely backgrounds!
