oh I so love the canvas stamp!!! I just used it along with the French Script one on a card and it was awesome!!! Of course the Just Jeans is a favorite of mine too, I only own those 3 background stamps!!
I have 3, I think...but my favorite is French Script. I have used it more than any other. I've found a lot more uses for it here on SCS than I imagined when I bought it.
I LOVE Canvas, and use it all the time. I also love Stipple Plaid, because it's so versatile. It's great for masculine cards, and always turns out great.

I own and love too many to narrow it down to just one. And, I gravitate to many different styles, ranging from classic, victorian, flora, to retro, whimsical, etc. So, I just keep adding as I go.
Take a look at what you have already in your collection and choose the one that would most support what you have in the way of style.
For example, lots of victorian, elegant floral stuff? Choose Filigree or French Script.
Lots of florals, cute/whimsical? Choose Canvas.
Lots of masculine style stuff? Choose Just Jeans.
Lots of retro style stuff? Choose Geometric.

You need at least two BG stamps! Canvas and French Script!! Next in my order of preference would be Soft Swirls, Just Jeans, Paisley, By Definition, and On Safari.
I have all the above, and I'd love to get Simple Stripes and Stipple Plaid, but I'm waiting for the Retirement List to come out before I get one (or both!) of those.
I'm like lots of other ladies. I love the canvas, soft swirls and french script. Just got By Defination and sinple stripes is on my wishlist. I would have never even considered buying that background stamp until I saw samples on SCS.
I only own 2 BG's - Canvas and French Script and couldn't live without either (okay...an exaggeration, but life definitely wouldn't be as cute without them!)
My top three favorites are canvas, just jeans & french script. The first two background stamps add a little texture to the paper and the script looks really nice w/ nature stamps.
I have the Canvas one so far, but will be ordering Paisley (which I have liked since way before SCS went paisley crazy!) and French Script soon. I like Canvas for floral-type and Victorian-looking cards, but was recently thinking it would look super-cute with a sewing-themed card. It does look an awful like needlepoint material!
I like the canvas too! But don't have any yet. I didn't think you could order from the mini catalog that ended in Feb. Let me know how to order this. I'm so new to this!
