Tips and Techniques Wednesday

Hello all!

I have a stamping technique for you today, called block stamping.  It is a quick and easy way to create a funky background for your projects.   Watch the video to see the 'how to'.....



And here are a few close up photos of the card that I created in the video.......

you'll notice that I went back and added some inking around the stamped background and just a hint of MME patterned paper

Let me know if there are any techniques you would like to see featured here, by leaving a comment on this post..

Thanks for visiting the blog today!
