Keyword: FEB11VSNO
Day/Date: Saturday, Feb 26
Time: 10:00pm EST

I don't know about you but I find that I never have any good ideas for using my musical score background. With one exception :wink: I have never liked anything that I made with it...but I love the stamp! I guess I could say the same about many of my big backgrounds. I have a whole drawer full of them...and they don't see much ink.

So here's your challenge:
Use a large background stamp, but you can't stamp the whole background of your card.
...Mask a space for stamping the background image.
...Punch or cut or tear out a section of the background image.
...Kiss an inked background stamp to your inked solid stamp.
...Use the background stamp any way that you like...EXCEPT as an overall background!

Extra credit if you incorporate a heart shape into your project...

this challenge- I had to hunt down background stamps- I don't ever use them!

TheresaCC 02-26-2011 06:01 PM

What a great idea for a challenge! Your samples are beautiful!

fionna51 02-26-2011 06:01 PM

Yeah, I'm trying to make myself use some...they're getting lonely!

fionna51 02-26-2011 06:01 PM

Thanks, Theresa!

I'm guilty of not giving mine enough love, either. ;)

petunia 02-26-2011 06:04 PM

Do we have to do all of the things you listed or are those examples?

ravengirl 02-26-2011 06:05 PM

I like everything about background stamps, except cleaning them!

fionna51 02-26-2011 06:06 PM

Just examples! Do whatever you like...except the full BG thing.

Yeah, Toni...someone needs to make a stamp cleaning pad that is twice as big as the SU one!

That's why I don't clean mine. I just stamp 'em off on scratch paper and put them away. I'm naughty.

fionna51 02-26-2011 06:09 PM

To tell you the truth...I take a little side trip to the sink and run them under the faucet for a few secs. Clean as a whistle!

That's all good until you go to use a light color!

:oops: I always feel guilty when I do that!

fionna51 02-26-2011 06:10 PM

Unless of course I use versamark or craft or something like that...and that calls for the OTHER sink with simple green and a toothbrush. I don't like dirty stamps ;)

tygerpaws11 02-26-2011 06:10 PM

If I could clean these things without getting 1/2 the ink on me, I'd be much more inclined to use them... any ideas ladies? scrubby is to small, baby wipe gets everywhere... thoughts? in any event, I endured my blue fingers, and came up with this:

Yep! And I've gotten a few ink pads messy. That is risky living in the stamping world. ;)

I guess I'm afraid to ruin the wood block on my SU ones. I don't worry about my Flourish backgrounds!

Ah! Mine are all unmounted!

Even when I had them on the wood, a quickie run under water didn't seem to matter.
