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.

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.
Very cool effect, thanks for sharing this. I’m looking at background stamps in a new light, great inspiration!
