Impression Obsession Challenge- Backgrounds

For my last post, I said that I thought the Little Daisy Stems (B8326) could be used to make a St. Patrick's Day card. After I said that, I decided I should try to make one. The theme for today's Impression Obsession challenge is "backgrounds," so I had to pair the stamp with one of the decorative Cover a Card Stamps. I chose to use the Botanical Wave (CC021).

To make this card, I repeatedly stamped the botanical wave onto three pieces of paper for the card. I cut out parts using my Nestabilities Labels 8 dies and stamped the daisy stems on top. To finish the stems, I colored them with a green Prismacolor pencil and added some green rhinestones.

The Impression Obsession backgrounds look so much like paper. If you need more inspiration, check out the samples by Daniela, Dina, Jeanne, and Jenny.

Here is a close up of the background so that you can see it a bit better:
