Soft and Subtle

Hello! It's Julia today. I'm back with another design using the Market Street Stamps backgrounds. I'm going to start sounding like a broken record but I absolutely adore these backgrounds. You're going to see one on almost every Market Street project I create.


Background stamps are beautiful simply stamped but there are lots of other things you can do with them. Today's project uses the beautiful Vintage Wallpaper stamp. It's a little difficult to see in the photo but I've used three shades of chalk ink on this stamp before stamping it for a very subtle variation. It's a fast and simple way to add more depth and interest. In case you're wondering, the shades used were a soft pink, a light red and a lavender.


Paired up with this background is the Comforting Florals stamp set. It's simply beautiful and I'll be turning to it again and again. The sentiment and image are stamped right on a tan colored Twinchie. I've used white pigment ink for the flowers. Make sure you dry it well with a heat gun before you try stamping the sentiment over top.

Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!
