Question Which background stamp next?

O.K. splitcoast stampers, I have a question for you. If you already had the Canvas and Print Pattern background stamps and wanted another background stamp which one would you choose and use the most?
Its a toss up for me because I want them all (right now) but can only order one and I cant make my mind up. Every time I see a new terrific sample I change my mind so any advise you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks

Those were my first two, and my third was French Script. Looks good alone or layered with the two you already have.

I'd go with the French Script! That one is the next on my list. But I started out with Word x Word and Print Pattern.. Word one is good if you don't have a lot of words - I like it that way better than a background one! But I've also seen some lovely things with Floral, so that one is on my list too - I think I will have to buy them at the same time!

houndstooth! I saw some awesome examples in the gallery when someone suggested we look at it. It's the next purchase on my list!

French Script, all the way! I love it. Try the Kiss technique with Print Pattern: awesome!

Floral! It's great to use with the others, provides a little visual contrast.

Ooooohhh! Such a hard choice! But I'll go with French Script also - it does look fabulous layered with the two you already have.
But Floral is very pretty also and I'm LOVIN' Houndstooth lately too!
. .. . sorry, I'm of no help . . . I love them all!

I have canvas and W by W, also French Script. I think French Script is very versatile. The next one for me will be floral, it is also very versatile I think and there are such pretty examples in the gallery.

Considering that you have Canvas and Print Pattern, I'd vote for French Script, too. Me being the background stamp queen, I've just ordered Crosshatch and Houndstooth. I can't believe it took me so long to get Crosshatch but it wasn't for lack of wanting that I haven't ordered it before now.

Floral is really pretty. I use the brayer and ink it up and it covers so nice! I have French Script - love it too!

I like French Script and Soft Swirls. I use them both quite a bit. I just got print pattern so I'm trying that out this weekend.

I have French Script on my wish list- there are so many samples with it in the gallery- looks amazing with so many stamps. I agree with Kisamari above- word by word is great if you don't have a lot of word stamps.
Good luck with your choice.
