❀❀❀❀

Stamps Used:
- Anything is Possible
- Butterfly Collage with Text

I am in love with this background stamp! I stamped it in a light brown ink and added soft pink chalk to the butterfly areas. The sentiment is stamped on gold vellum. I added a few enamel dots for accents..

❀❀❀❀

Stamp Used:
- Tail in the Air

This stamp is just too stinkin' cute! I used patterned paper for the background and added a red ribbon for a pop of color. The image was stamped and matted with black. The only coloring I did on this card was to add a red color to the adorable doggy. I added a few red gems for more red accent. This card was super quick and easy to make.

Stamps Used:
- Lotus Corner
- Art of God (This is not a new release)

TJ Products Used:
- A Colorful Life Stencil
- Pixie Spray
- Ink Blending Brushes
- Nuvo Glitter Markers

This lotus flower is simply beautiful. I stamped and colored the image with colored pencils. I sprayed the Pixie Spray on the back of the stencil, then placed it over my image. Using the blending brushes, I added a soft blue avoiding the stamped area. I added a gold border with a Nuvo Glitter Marker then adhered the panel to my card base.

Stamp(s) Used:
- Anything is Possible
- Precise Posy

TJ Products Used:
- Foil

This background is show shimmery and shiny IRL. The new foil line is huge! There are so many beautiful colors, it's really hard to pick a favorite. I have several colors, so you will be seeing them in future projects. Here is a close-up of the background which shows the sparkle a little better.

❀❀❀❀

Stamp(s) Used:
- Birthday Jar (SD972)
TJ Products Used:
- Nuvo Glitter Gloss Aqua Pen
Other Products Used: Colored Pencils, Gold lining stickers, navy cardstock

Just adding a few simple layers and some gold lines make this stamped image pop! I used colored pencils and some gamsol to color in the image. IRL you can see a little shimmer on the image which gives it a subtle specialness.

❀❀❀❀

Stamp(s) Used:
- Best Things in Life (S849)
TJ Products Used:
- Shimmering Bliss Shimmer Sprays
- IZINK Dye Inkpads
- Ink Blending Brushes
- My Sweet Petunia Cut-Align
Other Products Used: White Embossing Powder

Using some of the bold jewel colors of the Dye Inks, I was able to get a rich background for this image. I embossed the image with White EP to really give it a pop. Using the Cut-Align on the individually cut words made getting a close cut to the lettering a snap!

❀❀❀❀

Stamp(s) Used:
- Advice from a Giraffe (SD988)
TJ Products Used:
- A Colorful Life Stencil: Wavy Weave
- Ink Blending Brushes
- Pixie Spray

Other Products Used: Vellum, Gold Cardstock

The Wavy Weave stencil makes a perfect giraffe skin background. Who knew?! After using the blending brushes to ink through the stencil, which was held nicely in place with Pixie Spray, I stamped the image on some vellum and attached that to the card. The giraffe wasn't showing up to my satisfaction, so I rest amped him on the gold cardstock and fussy cut him out so I could add him on top of the vellum. Love the sentiment on this one!

❀❀❀❀

Stamp(s) Used:
- Your Own Magic (SD967)
TJ Products Used:
- Shimmering Bliss Shimmer Sprays
- Nuvo Glitter Gloss Aqua Pen
- Kaisercraft Gel Pens
Other Products Used: Cutting Dies, Washi Tape, Sequins, Clear Embossing Powder

I love the deep jewel tones of this background. I achieved it with two shades of Shimmering Bliss: Mardi Gras and Mermaid, which is one of my favorite combinations. After stamping the image and coloring it in, I placed it back in the MISTI. Since I hadn't moved the stamp, I was able to re-stamp with Versamark and add clear EP. I then added some shimmer and blending with the Aqua Pen for some extra shimmer. I die cut the background, added some washi tape, and assembled the card. IRL this card is full of shimmery goodness.

❀❀❀❀

Stamp(s) Used:
- Dog Kiss (SD974)
- Paw Prints Background (S826) (NOT NEW)
TJ Products Used:
- IZINK Dye Inkpads
- Ink Blending Brushes
Other Products Used: Kraft and Creme Cardstock, embellishments, Cutting Die

As easy as this card was to create, I love how it turned out. I stamped the paw prints on some Kraft CS, matted with black, and attached to my card base. The image was stamped on some cream CS, then die cut. Using the blending brushes, I added some interest to the edges of the cut image. That was attached with foam tape, and a few embellishments added for interest.

SIMPLE LAYERED BACKGROUND

Short on time and need a quick card? Layered backgrounds is your answer. I created a fun card using two complimentary patterned papers and a simple stamped (no color!) image.

If I had colored this image (which I absolutely LOVE!), it would have taken away from the overall clean lines of this card. So I kept it very simple and stamped it in a medium grey. The stamps I used are from Technique Junkies. I used Pelican (SD892) and one of the sentiments from Simple Sentiments 2B (SS026). If you like these stamps (or any other products you find on the Technique Junkies site), you can save 10% by entering the code TJ10Ro at checkout.

PELICAN (SD892)

SIMPLE SENTIMENTS 2B (SS026)

The layout of the card is SSSC286 from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges.

Sketches are also a great way to save you time on a quick card. I have saved a LOT of sketches over the years. If you are interested in getting some sketch inspiration, you can feel free to visit my Pinterest Board: Card Sketches. I have tons of ideas for you there and I am adding new ones all the time.

Hope you found some inspiration here today. Thanks for stopping by!
