Bits and Pieces Background check

One thing I really love about photopolymer stamps is how easy it is to use a *lot* of them together. I had an idea that I should make a background of birthday stamps. After pulling out more (and more!) clear sets to find birthday elements, I came up with this one. Some of the hearts and stars were added afterward to fill in holes. My favorite thing on the background is the sentiment from Age Awareness: "You look way better at this age than I thought you would" hahahahahaha Perfect for "that friend" or your sister, right?

The flower elements are more leftovers sitting out on my desk, and are made with the Flower Patch set and the matching Flower Fair framelits. It had been awhile since I had found a flower set to love, maybe even a year. But Flower Patch is firmly in blue ribbon territory for my flower stamp category.

Heroes for FTL298

 

Calling All Heroes--I love this photopolymer set! We have reached a point where (for the first time ever) we have more boys at home than girls, so this set was a must. My boys are sweet and tell me how pretty my cards are, but this one got a "Cool, Mom!" which is a higher endorsement. :-) 

The sketch is FTL298, and I love it!
