Card using Background Basics

Hello, dear crafty friends! Vishu here today to share a Happy Birthday Card with Background Basics Stamps by Ann Butler Designs.

These stamps are amazing to work with, nice bold designs and very easy to use. For this card I also used Ann Butler Designs Crafter’s Ink, I must say the ink is really rich and juicy.

Products Used:

•  Ann Butler Crafter’s® Ink by Clearsnap – Night, Sunshine and Berry
• Colorbox® Background Basics Stamps by Ann Butler – Diamond
• Colorbox® Glitter – Winter Frost
• Colorbox® Art Daubers
• Cardstock, Lace, rhinestones, glue pen, gold embossing powder, paint brush

Instructions:

1. Cut a white cardstock as per your card measurements.

2. Take the Background Basics stamps, using the daubers dab different inks to the design on stamps and make an impression on the cardstock. In this example I have used two colors berry and night, you can even use three or four different colors. Make sure you go from lightest color to darkest so that your ink pad colors don’t mix up. Also, whenever you are using multiple inks like this make sure to wipe your stamps after each impression. I use baby wipes to wipe my stamps they work really well with any kind of stamp.

3. Once I created the background, I used paint brush and sunshine ink to fill in the lines of my stamped impression. Then I used a glue pen on the yellow colored areas and stuck some glitter.

4. Once the background was ready, I layered the card and embellished it with lace and rhinestones.

5. Lastly I added a sentiment to my card.

I enjoyed this technique and will probably try a few more cards using more colors. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to create a card using background basics stamps by Ann Butler Designs. Below is a close up of the background.
