Background Stamping Technique
![background stamping finished project](http://www2.stampinup.com/gb/images/ST-13-B_rdax_340x175.jpg)
- With the background stamp face up, ink the stamp completely by tapping the ink pad on the rubber.
- Place the background stamp face up on your stamping surface.
- Place the card stock on the inked stamp.
- If the card stock is smaller than the stamp, cover the card stock with a piece of note paper.
- Rub the card stock with smooth, firm strokes, making sure to rub all areas of the stamp, and keep the card stock from sliding.
- Remove the note paper and carefully lift the card stock off of the stamp.
Note: This technique works well with any large stamp.

Create a multicoloured background by applying two or more inks to the background stamp.
