Prickley Pear Background

Welcome Prickley Pear fans! Have you ever wanted to create a background in the white space of certain stamps, but don't have the advance coloring skills to do it with markers?

I am excited to show you a quick and simple technique that adds color to your background on your clear stamp creations.



First step:
- Flip the clear stamp over and ink up the smooth back.

Next:
- Stamp the back image onto your cardstock.

 
- Clean and air dry the back of your clear stamp. Once it is dry, flip the stamp over and ink up the image. Stamp onto the background stamp.

 
- Cut out the stamp using either a die-cut or hand-cut,

 
- If you are interested, stamp image onto patterned paper for the paper-piecing option.

 
- Create your card :)


Thank you for stopping by Prickley Pear! Have a great day!
