Crosshatch Background Technique

 

Technique Time.  It's fun to think outside the box and use dies for something different than intended. The Candy Cane dies is great for candy canes, but I wanted to switch it up and make a non-Christmas card.  

Card Measurements:

Basic White    5-1/2 x 8-1/2,  2-1/2 x 3-1/2
Night of Navy    4 x 5-1/4
Sahara Sand    4 x 5-1/4, 2-3/4 x 3-3/4

Backyard Basics

Hi Stamping Friends.  I can't believe how much time passes between postings....sorry about that.  Do you ever have pieces of cardstock or stamped images just laying around?  That's how this card was created ... miscellaneous piece of stuff laying around my desk.  The colors are basic black, strawberry slush and wisteria wonder.  The stamp set is Backyard Basics, cut out with the coordinating framelits, which by the way, come in a bundle (bundle item #132729 Wood-Mount Bundle or #132728 Clear-Mount Bundle).  It's not real clear in the picture, but the flowers all are covered in crystal effects, which give them a 3-D look.  So much prettier in real life.
