Faux Stitched Backgrounds for Cards

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with 2 cards using the new Stitch Stamps.  These stamps, at approximately 4″ long, are perfect for stamping faux stitches on your creations.   I decided to use them to create backgrounds for my cards.

Supplies:

• ColorBox Crafter’s® by Ann Butler –   Desert Sand,  Blueberry,  Lilac
• ColorBox® Background Basics by Ann Butler – Stitch Stamps
• Joy Clair Stamps
• Couture Creations Embossing Folder
• Spellbinders dies
• Ribbon

After cutting white cardstock to size, I repeatedly stamped the Stitch Stamps with Blueberry Ink.  I inked around the  panel with Desert Stand and matted the panel with black cardstock.  Before adding the panel to the card with foam adhesives I wrapped the panel with ribbon.  A sentiment from JoyClair stamps was added to the card under the ribbon.

Cutting purple cardstock to fit my card, I embossed it and then lightly inked it with Lilac Ink.  Using the same Stitch Stamps with Lilac Ink, I stamped a panel of white cardstock.   After matting it with black cardstock I wrapped it with purple ribbon and added it to the card with foam adhesives.  I die cut the sentiment, adding it to the card with foam adhesives.

These stamps created fun backgrounds for my cards. Thanks for stopping by.
