Inspired By Stamping Sneak Peek - Background Basics II & Big Hope

Welcome to Day 2 of the May Release Party for Inspired By Stamping!  Today we are featuring Background Basics II and Big Hope.   The entire release will be available for purchase on May 10th at 7 p.m. Brisbane time (5 a.m. Eastern Standard Time).  See the end of this post for more details, including Blog Candy.

One of the three background stamps in the new set is this fabulous houndstooth (I have a blogging friend who looooves houndstooth...and you know who you are!), which I used with a light blush color.  I made a window with the brand new Fancy Labels Die and used a sentiment from Big Hope on the card base behind it.

I used two flowers from Elegant Flowers, a release from this year, to create one new blossom.  After stamping one large and one small rose and coloring them, I cut the stamens off the large one and attached it to the smaller one. The two layers are separated with foam dimensional stickers.
