Make Your Own Background

Do you ever make your own background? Instead of using Designer Series Paper, just stamp different images in different colors to create a beautiful background.

In today’s video I’ll show you how I created this bright and cheerful background using the Lovely You Stamp Set. The sentiments in this set are so pretty with the mix of print and script.

 
 

The colors I used to stamp the images are the new 2020-2022 In Colors. These are such beautiful colors and work well together - Magenta Madness, Just Jade, BumbleBee and Misty Moonlight.
