The Perfect Backdrop Plus a Quick Tutorial

Isn't my little Frankie the best photo prop ever?  <insert sappy kitty kisses>


I picked up yet another Lawn Fawn set which has proven to be very versatile.  It will be even more so once I get around to using the matching dies.  I tried a few variations of this card.  Which is your fav?  Btw, this would make a great one-layer card too.

Stamp the sentiment.  I liked it best north of vertical center.  I did find it easier if planning to mount this to cut it to the right size prior to stamping.

Mask the sentiment.  I used washi tape (this particular one makes me smile but it's lost most of its sticky so perfect for masking but that's about it.  Under other circumstances I would have used my Scotch removable tape.)  Stamp greenery in a few colors of green for interest.  Stamping off works too.

Stamp a few pine cones.  I stamped the pinecones in a lighter brown than the sentiment.

Remove the mask and add the berries.  I covered mine in Glossy Accents.

So easy and entertaining.  I like how each card will be similar but not the same.  Truly handmade!
