ERASER STAMPED BACKGROUND

TWO EXAMPLES OF ERASER BACKGROUNDS

Sometimes I just want to add a little bit of a feature in the background without compounding the busyness of the rest of the project.

A really easy way to do this is to ink up the side of an eraser and use it as a stamp to add colour. 

The example on the right uses three shades of overlapping brown - I've overdone it a bit here, to make the point, and would chose more subtle colours for a "real" card.  The silver behind the stamped rope on the first  card front is more the go.

Of course, its just a matter of what you like.  I often just use the eraser technique to add a single panel of a subtle colour (use Versamark) behind a stamped image.
