If you’ve stamped with me or watched this space, you have seen how I love to create my own backgrounds. Not that I never have bought any Designer Series Paper (ha!), but I’m really a stamper, so I enjoy the challenge of creating my own design in my choice of inks.
I have done lots of random, all-over stamping for backgrounds, but I love a good background stamp. So when I spied Berry Harvest in the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, I knew it needed to live here. Bonus: priced at $20.00, this stamp will provide me with lots of backgrounds! I feel the same way about the value of embossing folders, and if I can combine a folder with a background stamp, even better!
This variation on “black and white plus a pop of color” uses Pebbled Path as its main neutral. I wondered if this May camp card would be too “moody,” but I love this contrast.
Although I took the “Pebbled Path not taken,” the traditional colors of berries and leaves appear attached to the sentiment circle. We stamped the background once on Pebbled Path, then again on white, using the retired Stamparatus to ensure coverage on both pieces was perfect. Select berries and leaves were colored, then fussy cut.
