Background Stamping

1]   With the background stamp face up, ink the stamp completely by tapping the ink pad on the rubber. 2]   Place the background stamp face up on your stamping surface. 3]   Place the card stock on the inked stamp. 4]   If the card stock is smaller than the stamp, cover the card stock with a piece of scratch paper. 5]   Rub the card stock with smooth, firm strokes, making sure to rub all areas of the stamp and to keep the card stock from sliding. 6]   Remove the scratch paper and carefully lift the card stock off the stamp. QUICK TIP Create a multicolored background by applying two or more inks to the background stamp.
