Ever wonder what to do with those itty bitty stamps included in sets? Try reaching outside the box and use them by themselves to create cool and funky backgrounds through multiple stamping!
Over on the Artful Delight Blog I have a quick tutorial to show you two ways on how to do this, both creating a huge impact! Both cards feature the stamps from Lawn Fawn's Sunny Skies, the really fun and versatile set included in this month's Artful Delight card kit! I'm playing along with CASology's first ever challenge too, to incorporate a sun into your CAS project.
Here's my second card, please stop on over at the Artful Delight Blog for an explanation of what I did!
There's still a lot of time to play along with the two sketches posted on Artful Delight for your chance to win next month's kit! Details are here, I hope you find some time to make a project (or two!)!
