Originals - Background Blocks

The thing I like about this stamp is that is one large focal point.  It's easy to place on a card and be done.  Or, as with this card, add a tag for the saying (April Stamp of the Month - Sweet Tweet).  Then you're done.  Coloring the flowers can be zenful (is that a word?! to be full of zen; relaxing).  Find paper first, then color to match.  Or color, and find paper to match.

The stamp could be used to create background paper too - stamp tone on tone cardstock.  Cut that up, and you're good to go, especially with this Background Blocks pattern from the Originals cardmaking pattern book.

Originals - Background Bar

I just got new stamps from the April - June 2023 idea book and played with a few stamps and some paper.  These two samples are from the Originals Card Making Program.  Background Bar pattern.  The pattern is for a 6"x6" card. 


Turtley Awesome + Thin Cuts (Z4696), Colored Pencils, April-June Mix In Paper with Mist, Seabrook, and White Daisy cardstock.  Rosemary ink was sponged around the two Seabrook pieces and was used for the saying.

Seabrook, Papya, Toffee, and White Daisy cardstock with more April-June Mix In paper; colored pencils, and Sweet Tweets - April Stamp of the Month
