Crafty Creations - MYO Background Paper!

Already it's time for another challenge at Crafty Creations...Jenn is "challenging" us "to make your own background paper".

The Stamping Boutique are kindly sponsoring this challenge and the DT got to use a selection of their images for this challenge.

As soon as I saw this stiletto I knew I wanted to use it. I used Distress Ink to repeatedly stamp the FAB Tim Holtz image on kraft cardstock. (I left a bit blank at the bottom as I wanted to stamp the "outtie" part of my sentiment there)! I lightly distressed around the edges of the cardstock to antique it a little.

The "inny" of the card reads: "you can never have too many"!

Next I printed the shoe (Stamping Boutique) on Kraft paper, then used my leopard print background stamp (and more distress ink of course) to jazz it a lil!! A few black pearls and that shoe is fit for dancing!!

A few trims and flowers and my card was complete. I LOVe the texture of that green trim...it is UBER soft!!

When I started this challenge I had all sorts running through my head, but I loved how this card turned out....simple but effective!! There are so many other ways to make your own background designs - with stencils, sprintzing inks, bleaching, stamping, embossing - the list is endless....why not break from the norm and try it yourself?!!

Gotta run...I hear the 'phone ringing...it might be Jimmy Choo!! bx
