Stampin' Spots Background
Create a multi-colored background using Stampin' Spots. Are you a Paper Pumpkin subscriber? If so, you probably have a collection of Stampin' Spots. If not, the
uninked 1" square Spots can be purchased. Just add colors of your choice using reinkers. I used the retiring Waves of Inspiration and coordinating Dies for this card.
Instructions: 1.Swipe different colors of Stampin' Spots on neutral-colored card stock. I used Balmy Blue, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon, and Night of Navy Stampin' Spots. You can
also use the full-sized ink pads. Just use the edge of the pad to add the color. Swipe Night of Navy ink along the edges. 2.Stamp pelican from Waves of Inspiration on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Night of Navy ink. Die-cut using the coordinating Waves Die. Die-cut clouds out of Basic White card stock. Sponge Coastal Cabana ink along the edges. 3. Stamp birds on card front using Night of Navy ink.
