Online Clean & Simple Day 3 ~ Velveteen stamping

The cards for day 3 were all about background stamping.
I chose Karolyn Loncon's velveteen stamping for my first card.
Now, you do need some full size background stamps to make this work the easiest for you.  I tried the narrow  background strips, but I couldn't get them to line up good because you are stamping white ink on white paper and it was very difficult to see.

I took a close up so you can see how the background stamp shows through the solid color images.
Very nice technique, if I had more background stamps, I would definitely play around some more with this.
