Hey all! It's day two of the
Papertrey Ink countdown and so far, from your wonderful comments yesterday, sounds like some of you are almost as excited as I am about
Background Basics: Vines. I love how this set is not only geared for creating hand stamped backgrounds, but it also makes show stopping focal patterns and focal images that really take center stage. Here's a couple colorful examples that feature the third image in this stamp set....

Using my current favorite color combo (one I can't seem to stop using these days for some reason) of Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Orange zest, I stamped the solid leafy border image across the front of a Rustic White card base, making sure to leave room for the sentiment.

To keep thing simple and really let this pattern shine, I embellished with only a few coordinating buttons and a tiny ribbon bow.

Next up, is more of a detailed focal panel. To create this panel I combined the solid leaf border image (same as above) along with the single leafy vine image (one I featured in
yesterdays post). I purposely designed these two images to fit and work perfectly together, giving you yet another fun option when using
Background Basics: Vines set. I do love a set that gives you a ton of options and more bang for your buck!!!
Here's How: To create this panel, I started by stamping the single leafy vine image onto Lavender Moon cardstock in Plum Pudding ink, Spring Moss in Ripe Avocado ink and Lemon Tart with Summer Sunrise ink.

Then stamped the solid leaf border directly over, in
Versamark, and embossed using
clear embossing powder. This way you can still see the pattern underneth.

Trimmed the edges and cut each strip into 1" pieces.

Assembled and attached the pieces onto a piece of kraft cardstock, cut to the propper finished size.

Then adhered this panel to a kraft card base, over a die cut sentiment strip, using dimensional adheisve. And that was it!
So, I hope you've enjoyed these last two days of
Background Basics: Vines. If you can't wait to get your hands on this set just remember it becomes available starting July 15th, for $15, at
Papertrey Ink. And even though this set technique includes three actual stamp images, with the combonation I've share with you today a forth option can be counted as well. It's like including and additonal stamp images for free. Wouldn't you say?!
Thanks for stopping by!
