Background stamping

For this technique I stamped on a standard size ATC with a background stamp. On top of my backgroundI stamped a silhouette with oval border on the ATC. I just made sure the background shows on my ATC & then added some wooden embellishments to it to finish it.

I've noticed that using different colours of ink pads (or inks) give dept to the ATC. You can see that I used SU stampin' pad ~ really rust for the background. The silhouette and the oval doily are stamped with SU stampin' pad ~ close to cocoa. I also ink embossed the edges with the close to cocoa stampín' pad as a finishing touch and as I most of the time do with my art works. This ATC is lovely:-D
