Good morning blog friends! I confess, it is no secret that I’m partial to background stamps! Recently I received a couple of background stamps from JustRite Papercrafts and besides the Fleurista Newsprint Background Stamp that I’ve used several times this month, I fell in love with the Heart Scroll Background Stamp. It’s huge and it has a very large motif with bold lines – I immediately wondered how it would look overstamped or combined with another background stamp. I experimented with colors and came up with a double stamped background that I really like. It’s an easy technique and I give you the 1, 2, 3 and additional pictures at the bottom of my post.
My card is a simple two layer card. I let the beauty of the double stamping show as much as possible.
I also used JustRite Papercrafts Summer Words for the sentiment. Both the flag and the heart in the upper left corner were cut using - Vintage Labels and Banner Dies
So in my mind the jury is in . . . because the Heart Scroll background has big bold elements – I think it will work in tandem with many of the other JustRite Stampers Backgrounds :-) You can click on the three thumbnails below to see the sequence to coordinating a double stamped background.,
1. Stamp your first background stamp with distress ink – when picking your two stamps be sure to test them before going on to the real thing. I try to pick a small print and a large print for the overstamping.
2. Stamp your second background stamp using embossing powder, then emboss with clear embossing powder.
3. Using a distress in sponge, smudge over the embossed cardfront using an ink of your choice. This is the resulting panel you’ll get.
| SUPPLIES I USED |

I have been on the road for a week so haven’t posted but with iPad with me have definitely stayed in touch. This absolutely elegant! I have managed to look at all your blogs – would never miss one. So inspiring but I broke my grand Calibur before I left so sent it out for repair the dY before I left so should be back in another week. I hope! TFS, Becca!

Love this elegant card. I”ve done the double stamping with the Impression Obsession Cover A Card stamps, but never thought of doing the 2nd layer with versamark & embossing. Great idea, and I’m off to try it. Thanks for the lovely card and the super technique. Have a good week. Hugs

Becca, bless your heart. You know, one day about a week ago, I found this card on some site and I do not know where I was. It has been on my mind and in my heart since. I tried to find it again and with no luck Tonight, after seeing my emails, I decided to check in on you. And here it is. Thank you Lord!! He is so faithful. And you are so blessed. Now I have the answers I needed about this card. And I have been reading and reading all the comments to you and your followers love you, honey. And so do I. But then we have a common bond. We both love our creator. I am, your sister in Christ, Bonnie.
