Gathering Moment Distressed Background - Stampin' Up!® Gathering Moments

   I got on Facebook this morning and did a live stamping session with the new Gathering Moments stamp set.  I showed how to make this easy distressed background with a fun angled cut.  You can find this bundle (and more coordinating products) in the Online Exclusives.  The layout is one that I gave my customers as a challenge so I wanted to get a sample made to show it in use.

  Even though Stampin' Up! has a ton of beautiful DSP to work with sometimes it's just fun to make our own which is what I did with this panel.  I pulled out a few colors with a bit of a fall feel and just got to stamping.  

  I did a few different things to get some distressing on this panel and I love how the distressed texture and layers add so much more interest than just having a flat panel.  And the angled cuts add even more interest.

  Check out the video to see how this card comes together:

Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
