Background Stamps

1]   With the background stamp face up, ink the stamp completely by tapping the ink pad on the rubber.

2]   Place the background stamp face up on your stamping surface.

3]   Place the card stock on the inked stamp.

4]   If the card stock is smaller than the stamp, cover the card stock with a piece of scratch paper.

5]   Rub the card stock with smooth, firm strokes, making sure to rub all areas of the stamp and to 

keep the card stock from sliding.

6]   Remove the scratch paper and carefully lift the card stock off the stamp.

QUICK TIP Create a multicoloured background by applying two or more inks to the 

background stamp.
