Technique: Using Fiskars plate for 'stamped' image

How did you do the background? This has been the response for previous post, with the quilling candles on. Here's my "mini-tutorial" so you can try it out for yourself if you wish. I guess I'm right in saying it is a 'stamped' image, even though my Cuttlebug was instrumental?

Here is the 'sandwich' of layers, using a damask textured white cardstock (for white snowflakes), with a cranberry coloured ink-pad.


The result; a perfectly "stamped" background cardstock, that can now be trimmed to suit any application.
