Make It Monday #31: Creating Backgrounds with non-background stamps

Hi Everyone!  

I had so much fun with this challenge-I love creating backgrounds with stamps and I am in love with my new Tabletops stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  

When I chose this color scheme I did so because it reminds me of fall.  However, it is also the primary color scheme in my dining room.  We don't use our dining room very often, but for the family gatherings, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, we do and we all look forward to pulling out the china, crystal, and silver for these special celebrations in a very warm and inviting room.  I knew I felt a certain homey-ness from this card!  I hope you like it, too! 

I have used a wide variety of supplies here most all of which are from PTI  except for the red cardstock which is Cherry Cobbler from Stampin Up!, the Memento Inks, Rhubarb Red and Rich Cocoa, and Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, Large die.  The card base is Chocolate Brown, and I used Kraft for the stamped image and Vintage Cream  for the Doily Details and Double Ended Banner die.  The doily center is stamped with the border image from Tag-Its #1 and the smaller design within the center is from Tabletops as well as the "Thanks So Much" on the banner.  I softened the edges of each layer with Tea Dye Duo, Chai/ Chamomile Inks and rounded the bottom corners of each layer with a Corner Chomper.

Thanks for stopping by,
