Backgrounds and Die Cuts



Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is Create Your Own Background Paper.  Come share your interpretation of this theme and don't forget the die cut!
  
I started with my box pattern from My Scrap Chick and cut that on the Cricut.  After that I found some fun stamps I hadn't used in a while.  I stamped in my large background stamp in a light Champagne color and then went to the large flowers in a darker brown (chocolate).  I then moved on to the smaller stamps in brighter colors.  

Once the stamping was done, I colored the large flowers with my copic markers.  I assembled the box and tied it with some twine.  I cut the flower and added a circle.  I heat embossed the circle using darker brown/bronze powder from my stash.  I cut a strip to make a band around the box.  However, the pattern does come with a scored band, I just chose to cut one with a paper cutter since I didn't want it as wide.  

Such a fun project to make with my very own designer paper!  😉
