Hi there! Today I have a fun polka dot background created using the smallest stamp hidden amongst some gorgeous floral stamps! This stamp comes from the August 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit and I just knew it would make a great background.
I am using some of my favorite inks today to create this rainbow of polka dots (who doesn’t love a rainbow of polka dots)?! And this card is made even better with a “Hey, Gorgeous” sentiment.
I created a short video to show you how I created a background THREE different ways that are all equally as fun! Watch it below or on YouTube:
This background is easy to make and really quick, too. Just change the direction of your stamp each time to get some variation.
If you look closely at the stamp set in the photo above, you can just pick out the polka dot stamps I am talking about. I put a couple of them on one side of my acrylic block, and another one on the other side; then I alternated between the two sides when I stamped it out.
I think this black polka dot card is my favorite one! I also think it would make a great background for a dog card (why do I think that)?!
The last polka dotted card is made with the beautiful embossing powders that came in last month’s kit. I alternated between 3 of them to create an ombre look for the background.
Funny story…I colored these flowers in a rainbow order because I thought it would be fun to use them for the rainbow background (first card). But sometimes my cards take on a mind of their own! So these florals ended up on the heat embossed background. I added some chunky glitter to the centers of these flowers to mimic some shine from the embossing powders. So pretty.
I’m often asked about the supplies I use on the cards I make, so I compiled a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you very much for your support!
I hope you are inspired to create some polka dot backgrounds! (or even create backgrounds using the smallest stamps in your stamp sets).
