I decided to make a Herringbone background with strips of stamped paper scraps, using the Perfect Ruler... it has that center bar with a grip that holds the paper in place, which works really well up to the last inch.
I love scrap backgrounds, and this is such a fun and easy way to use up scraps. There's a tutorial HERE if you'd like to make one yourself.
I used one of my earlier designs (Par Avion), and just added some simple coloring with Coloursoft pencils around the ocean. The vellum tag is in a small drawer of embellishments that have followed me around the world, and the word stamp can be found HERE.
I hope you'll visit the company blogs to see the other projects! Thanks for stopping by today!
