My second favorite part of the month with Papertrey ink, after the new releases, is the Bloghop. Just a fun night of paper eye candy!! Our challenge was background building stamps. You could use their fantastic background stamps (I missed out on Guidelines 2, bummer), or create your own, which is what I decided to do. The pic is below is how it started (I stamped it on white just show how it began).
This pic shows the stamps that I used to create my background. I manipulated one of the faux ribbon stamps into a curve. I used my gridded acrylic block to space them evenly. I stamped the circle onto each curve and then decided to layer more circles to cover my previous circles.
Stamped on the new Hibiscus paper.
Finished card. I really had fun creating this background and hope to try it in other colors. Have a great bloghop!
