For today's double down background challenge I used 2 floral stamps for my frame. My central panel is dry embossed and paper pieced, Added a fussy cut dog image and sentiment block. Here's nap or two

for my second challenge card I went with several techniques- first embossing, then direct to wax paper inkpad swipes, followed by spritzing for my central flower. Added a double stamped background, and a hand written sentiment block Here's flowers bloom

This challenge requires you to use two background stamps and layer them in two different stamping colors. My first stamp uses a tone-on-tone technique and stamps Gorgeous Grape inked bitty stars onto the Purple Posie card front. My second BG stamping is a bit more subtle. It is a stream of a bit larger, open-design stars stamped with Silver Metallic ink. The stamping starting at the top right and ends up under the silver die-cut flourish traveling at an angle to the bottom left corner of the card. If you look closely, you can see the last silver stamped star peeking under the organdy sheer ribbon.
