I've been having fun making some backgrounds for rubber stamping projects. Backgrounds can bring some designs alive, adding extra color and texture to a variety of rubber stamping projects. Making your own backgrounds is a great way to create your own special papers for handmade cards and other projects. Great backgrounds can be created using inks, paints and chalks, and are easy to adapt.
