Using stamps to create custom background paper is one of my favorite stamping techniques. I love to do this technique by combining a mix of stamps and then laying out the design using my MISTI stamping tool. Today I'm sharing a black and white background design using the Believe In Unicorns Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs.
To create a background, I begin by laying out the designs on one end of the card. I then ink them up and stamp them all at one time. Then, I move the stamps around to fill in the rest of the space and stamp again.
For this card, I wanted to do a little something different. I thought it would be fun to pop up one of the images and add the sentiment to the background design as well. Again, using my MISTI, I determined the placement of the sentiment and the image I wanted to pop up. I actually stamped that unicorn image onto the background to remind me where that piece would go.
So do you like to create your own backgrounds with stamps? What technique do you use to create them?

After the background was complete, I stamped, colored and die cut the unicorn image and adhered it to my card using some double sided foam adhesive.
