Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Thanks for popping by my blog tonight. Today I made a card specifically for the Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop. The requirements this month were to make a project using stamps to build a background. I decided to use the stamp set Around & About Sentiments and I have a nifty trick to show you.
As you can see in the picture above, I placed a piece of notebook paper behind my card stock. This helped keep the stamps straight as well as ensure even spacing. 
Voila! Here's how it turned out. A card for anyone and for any happy occasion. 
Here's a close-up so you can see that those stars are really popped out.
Enjoy the hop and thanks for stopping by!
