Paper Cuts

TGIM!  Today’s challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms is to use backgrounders.  I don’t know about you, but all the gorgeous patterned paper available today has made me a  lazy stamper.  I used to love backgrounders but now…I still love them, I just don’t use them very often.  When I DID use them, I especially liked tone-on-tone so that’s what I decided to do here.  (And I’m going to try to use my many backgrounders more often.)

Once in a While

I chose non-traditional wedding colors and used a new backgrounder, Flowers and Lace.  I stamped Adirondack Oregano onto Prism Birchtone Medium cardstock.  I used the same ink to stamp the silhouette of the couple (stamped off once first), then overstamped the sentiment with black ink.

I added a teeny-tiny pearl in each scallop and a slightly bigger one in each corner.

Be sure to check out these other CHF designers to see how they used their backgrounders:  Julia, Dawn, Joanne, Kristine, Carole, Mona and Kim.

Up next are samples using three new Kim Hughes sets (to be released this Thursday).  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
