Ways to Use Background Stamps for Embellishments

I just got in the June release stamps, and they are so cute!! So many fun stamps that are amazing in so many ways! Here is my haul video of the June releases plus a fun way to use your background stamps for embellishments!!

Using a solid color cardstock, you can use any color of ink your wish, I chose the Raven detail ink, stamp the entire sheet with a back ground stamp. I chose to do it in Floral frenzy. I then took different shape punches and had fun punching them out in those shapes.

The first one i just punches in a 2x2 inch square. This still leaves me the opportunity to color in the flowers to suit my needs for the project, plus kraft goes with anything!!!

Next I did a smaller square 1x1 inch but with a scalloped edge for something a little different :)

Last I did a set of hearts, because who does not like a cute little heart?!?!

So now I have a set of fun embellishments ready for my next project, great for cards, tags, ATC's, bookmarks, scrapbook pages, art journals, and so much more!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Below are the Brutus Monroe Supplies I used for these projects.
