My 3 Favorite Background Techniques with Stamps & Stencils

Tim Holtz just released his latest stamp and stencil sets and I had the best time creating and making with them. During the process I realized just how much I enjoy using stamps and stencils to create backgrounds for my cards. In my latest video I’m sharing 3 of my favorite background techniques using stamps and stencils. Along with learning the 3 techniques, I also walk you through how I added the finishing details to each card.
