Hello, friends! Time seems to be going by increasingly fast. We are already on day 19! I keep thinking I need more days because I have more ideas than can fit in the days left. Today the team is featuring our sponsor - Waffle Flower.
As I was looking back on my tags I realized I hadn't done a technique that I love to do, and that is to stamp a background. So I did just that using a bunch of images from Waffle Flower's Stocking Stamp Set. The key to stamping backgrounds is to start with your largest images first, and then go back and fill in with the smaller ones.
Typicallly I'll leave a little more space between the images, but I also wanted to do a spotlight technique, and for that to work, things needed to be stamped tighter together. After I stamped the background, I lightly traced an oval in the middle of the tag, then I used markers to color only the space inside of the oval. After I finished coloring, I went back and erased the lines. I think this is such a fun, easy way to create a focal point! I finished the tag by embossing a sentiment on black and adding a little holly.
