Welcome to a fun blog hop! The new release by Pinkfresh Studio is here and we celebrate with an inspirational blog hop and lots of giveaways.

This release is packed with amazing rubber background stamps. I love these big 6×6 stamps and today I am sharing 3 cards while discussing ideas on how you can use the different types of these stamps such as stamps with text, stamps with geometric shapes or beautiful intricate designs!

1. background stamps with text

These type of background stamps can be used both as a subtle background, as well as actual sentiments like I did in this example. Another great look is if you create a tone on tone background… for this card for example it would also work if I stamped that text with blue on blue cardstock for a sky with some visual texture.

2. background stamps with intricate designs

These type of background stamps can stand on their own, no need for focal points. Just stamp and color with your favorite mediums and add a sentiment on top. How stunning is this next example?!

Background stamp: Lemon Lush ( PNK )

Sentiment dies: Phrase builder set( PNK | SBC | SSS )

3. background stamps with geometric designs

Geometric designs make the perfect background of the emboss resist technique! Use your watercolors or ink them up!
