Just bought this set (I had always wanted it and just never bought it) and had to play around with it. Found a bunch of scraps and decided to do Serendipty with them. A longer process but interesting way to create BG paper.
This is how you do Serendipity: Tear a bunch of coordinating scraps into random size bits, glue to CS, DTP a complimentary ink pad and/or random stamp images over the top. At this point you can also put on a light layer of glue or mod podge but, it is not necessary. Have fun with this!

I think this was the first set I ever bought, along with a pack of Creamy caramel paper to make coffee cards! I still love it! Great card and great background!!!!!

I've always loved this set and often use parts of it when using other coffee stamps. GREAT idea for the background paper. New technique I'll have to try! TFS.....
