gratitude.



This month, I challenged the design team to create a project using their favorite backgroud technique from an episode of StampTV.

One of my new favorites is Distressed Stripes. I love this technique because it creates somewhat of a pattern but it's not too busy. It's great when you need a masculine background or, when you just need a simple backdrop for any kind of card project.

Here is my card from the StampTV episode that was featured a couple of weeks ago.

And here is the episode if you'd like to learn to how to do this technique: Distressed Stripes

Now, it's time to hop through the design team's blogs and see their favorite background techniques and the beautiful projects they've created!



I hope you enjoy this month's inspiration!


Have a great evening~


Hugs,


Gina K.

    After watching the video several weeks
    ago, I tried it. I really liked how it
    turned out. I decided to use the piece to
    cut out butterflies using the ridge for the
    center of the body. Worked great. Thanks for
    the tutorial videos.

    I found Gina and Theresa's work just awesome, it involves a lot of creativity. I'm so inspired that I'm surely going to try this new technique in some handmade cards and envelopes. Thanks for sharing.
