This is my entry for today's Ways to Use It Challenge, WT219, for creating a card by stamping the same image again and again.
I'm afraid that creating a background in this way isn't terribly original, but I *do* love making my own background this way (especially since I do not have very much of a DSP collection).
For my central image, I stamped on parchment cardstock, colored lightly with colored pencils, and then crumpled the image repeatedly to "age" it. I was hoping for something that looked like an old treasure map. Again, not the newest idea in the book, but I thought it would play well with my target audience of 6-year-old pirate lovers!
Thanks for looking!
Emily
