Make it Monday #39-Multi Stamp Background


This is a really great video where Nicole Heady is showing us step by step how to make a background out of multiple stamps for your cards:

I needed to make a masculine card today, but think I will try this same design for more feminine cards in the future by adding a few flowers instead of the leaves and acorns with the flourishes, also some lace instead of the ribbon :o)
