Gather your supplies:
Whisper White: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", folded and creased, stitched rectangle (3rd largest), and two strips for the sentiments (1/2" and about 5/8")
Basic Gray: 3-5/8"" x 4-15/16", 11/16" wide strip to mat the sentiment on the front
Comfort and Hope stamp set
Ink Colors - Pretty Peacock, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Terracotta Tile and Basic Gray
Your first way to use these background stamps is as a main design element. Stamp the cross hatch pattern in the rainbow of colors across the stitched rectangle as shown. Stamp your sentiment, trim and then use the Pick a Punch to make the decorative ends. Mat with the gray and add dimensionals to the back.
The next way is to use the stamps to add dimension and texture to a mat. Use the herringbone stamp with basic gray ink and stamp opposite corners of the gray mat. Assemble your card with your favorite adhesive (I love the multipurpose glue!).
The third way to use small background stamps is as a backdrop for your sentiment. Stamp the circles on the inside of the card. After you stamp your sentiment on the white strip, trim using the Banner Triple Punch and add this over the circles. Background stamps, especially if they are stamped off, work great on labels too.
