My card for Day #17 features a fun way to use the Birchwood Background stamp. I believe the gals from Stampin’ Through the Catalogue showed this on their Instagram feed and I thought it was awesome!

I used the So Sentimental stamp set for the phrase and cut it with the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies after embossing it in gold. I added a strip of the Best Dressed DSP along the top with a Mossy Meadow scallop edge created with the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The sequins are from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins set. The whole sentiment panel is up on Dimensionals.

The create the background I started with my Birchwood stamp mounted on my Stamparatus. Line up your paper and ink your stamp and gently press it down. Lift up your paper and rotate it in the opposite direction (if you start horizontal, rotate vertical or vice versa). Ink the stamp again and press. You end up with this really cool background!

This card is simple and was pretty fast to come together! I already have a list of gal pals I will be sending this to!
