My Favorite Stamp Set: Distressed Backgrounds

Sometimes a little stress in life can be a good thing, and today’s favorite stamp set is no exception. Talented Consultant Carolyn Stout confirms this in her creative use of the Distressed Backgrounds stamp set (D1544). She used it to liven up her cards without distracting from her intended focal points. Take a look at her cute contributions:


I love the way Carolyn used the houndstooth background stamp to give a unified feel to her multi-colored background. Little details like that give a card its pizazz!


Carolyn combined scraps from her Later Sk8r paper packet and a background stamp to make a unique card I love. Her stamping gives her white space more depth while allowing the important elements stand out.


Creating a focal accent out of a stamped image is clever—and absolutely adorable!—and I love the way it is presented here. Carolyn’s use of the background stamp gives the design a winning touch.


Stamps alone make up this entire card, and yet it is anything but boring! The combination of its stamped background and overlaid stamped sentiments are both simple and attractive.

Using the Distressed Backgrounds stamp set is the perfect way to add dimension to any piece of artwork. Thank you, Carolyn, for sharing your interpretations!
