Woodware USA Challenge #36 Stamp That Background!

Renee

Sweet Tooth

Welcome to another challenge here at Woodware USA!! July is coming to a close, and a hot close at that! We have been so fortunate to have Renee join us as our July guest designer. She has such a talent, and I admire all of the details she adds and color combinations that she employs! Thanks to Renee for helping us this month! Her beautiful card is featured first on our post today!

Our challenge this week is to really use those stamps! When I first started stamping, the backgrounds were always stamped, and I rarely used designer paper! Well, we went back to our roots this week, and we would like to see your stamped backgrounds!

Just some simple rules to follow:

1. Your card must be new and linked using the inlinkz.com system. Any backdated posts will be removed.
2. Only two entries per participant.
3. A bonus entry into our monthly drawing will be given for each entry that uses a Woodware USA image.
4. We are looking for a guest designer for future months, so please put an asterisk next to your name if you would like to be considered.

On to our lovely samples!
