Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: A Little Piece of Paradise

Since my craft studio is my "little piece of paradise" especially this past month with all the snow- I decided to join in on the fun at this week's SSS challenge: A Little Piece of Paradise.

Paradise for me right now is dreaming of spring- the beautiful flowers budding and seeing color in nature again! So for this challenge I decided to try a new technique and use a background stamp that I  hadn't use to create some "springlike" cards bursting with color.  I am addicted to background stamps right now- and new techniques with them.  Made several colored backgrounds from the Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch stamp - using white embossing powder as a resist.

I left one background whole while I cut the others into a grid pattern and line pattern, mixing the blue and green backgrounds and the yellow and orange backgrounds.  I used distress ink-love how they blend so well for this technique.   

Here are the cards individually:

Welcome to my little piece of Paradise!
