PTI MIM #31: Creating Backgrounds

Hi! I hope you're all enjoying your Labor Day! I have a card to share for the latest Make-It-Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink. It came at a great time, actually, because I've had this project waiting to be blogged about and it fits this challenge perfectly!

The challenge this week is to create a background using non-background stamps and this is a technique that I use A LOT! I love "playing" with stamps and coming up with my own type of patterned papers. So much fun!

Here's the video from Nichole Heady's blog:




And here's my project:


Love this one. I used the Delightful Doilies stamp set to create this fun pattern of varying size and color doilies! I just kept layering until I felt like it was "finished!" So fun.

Hey! Guess what?! I just won a spot in Jennifer McGuire's Inspiration Showcase class from the Basic Grey blog!! I'm SOOO excited! Leave me a comment if you're going to be taking the class, too! I'd love to know who's joining the fun!

Thanks for stopping by today- I hope you have a great holiday!
