Pick of the Week ~ Small Stamps & Easy Matching Background

Hello friends, Esther here with this week’s Pick of the Week stamps. 
Do you ever struggle with using small stamps on your cards? I do! 
Today I’m sharing a quick and easy card showcasing a small baby owl stamp, and a fun way to create a matching background for your main image. 
Let’s get started….

Being by stamping the 2613-H, Baby Owl stamp in a random pattern, on kraft card stock using Walnut Stain Distress Oxide (Ranger).
For a bit of added depth, highlight portions of your owl using the Versamarker Pen.
Sponge around the edges of your panel with walnut stain ink, and add a few spatters using diluted Black Soot Distress Oxide (Ranger).

Now stamp your 2613-H, Baby Owl on white card stock (same ink) and cut out using the Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders).
While the paper is still in your die cut, ink around the edges with a sponge dauber.
Layer your die cut circle on kraft and black card stock cut with the Scallop Circle & Large Scallop Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders).
Tie a double piece of baker’s twine around your card front and add some black sequins.
Affix your owl to the card front using Scotch Foam Mounting Tape, and add two wiggly eyes just for fun!
Stamp your sentiment from plate Plate 9900 in Tuxedo Black Ink (Memento), and layer your panel on black card stock before adhering to your white card front.
