This week's Make It Monday #284: Background Stamping With Sentiment Stamps is hosted by Melissa Phillips where she shows us how to use sentiment stamps to create a fun look for a background. I've done this in the past, but should do it more often because it's a nice way to fill in the card.
I started with a piece of white cardstock and stamped my sentiment in Kraft ink on an angle, covering the entire panel. I ran the panel through the Cuttlebug with Wonky Rectangles to give the panel a stitched look.
I haven't used Bubble Talk for a long time! The bubble is die-cut in Spring Rain cardstock, 5 times and stacked together. I stamped the sentiment on top in Enchanted Evening ink, placed the panel on an Enchanted Evening cardstock card base and added jute around the top.
Quick, easy and fun - it doesn't get any better than that!
