Stretch Your Stamps ~ Borders

I used Paper Smooches stamps for the Background of Borders technique for today's Stretch Your Stamps Class.  I initially tried it with a foam border stamp, but realized it was much easier to achieve precision with see-through acrylic.

I stamped the entire background in Ocean blue with the intention of doing a spotlight technique.  However, when I couldn't get a window effect I liked, I switched gears and stamped two more rows in Morocco Orange, trimmed them, and paper pieced them onto my background.

I added a Monster stamped on Basic Grey What's Up designer paper with a combination of Paper Smooches sentiments.  Does he look like he wants to give you a hug?

  1. Nice PS card! Great way to combine stamps from multiple sets. I’m still working on the precision lines thing … even when I use clear stamps! Hee! 😀
