I made two cards using the same stamp and also the same die cut for the background. The cardstock was a little lighter then I wanted so I decided to ink it up, as I was getting ready to ink it after die cutting, I thought how it looked like a stencil and then thought I need to make my second background at the same time, so I took a piece of cardstock a little bigger then the die cut and added my die cut over it and did my inking over the die cut, when I pulled it away I thought it looked great.
I added some pattern paper behind the die cut on the first one.

I decided to do the card horizontal this time and change up the dies behind the stamped image.
I think I actually like this background better than the original :)
