I’m excited to share with you a background stamp called, Curvy Background.
It’s a fun background that can be used in so many ways but when I saw it I instantly knew what I wanted to create.
.
I began with a 5″ x 5″ piece of white mixed media heavystock and inked the Curvy Background stamp with embossing ink. I then sprinkled white embossing powder all over the panel and set it with a heat tool. I created a fun and whimsical Santa on Christmas Eve setting using the Tim Holtz Reindeer Sleigh, Moonlight, and Tall Pines die sets. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas 2024 Sticker Book.
You can find a list of all the supplies I used to create this card in the list below.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Party and have a great time seeing all the amazing inspiration from all the designers and finding their special blog surprises along the way!
