How about a handmade stencil? I made one for myself to create this custom lacy background. I used the All Things Fabulous Stamp Set and Fabulous Florals Dies to bring it all together for this "wishing" card.
To make my stencil I first cut the doily shaped piece in the Fabulous Florals Dies set four times from a piece of copy paper. Next I carefully glued the four die cuts together to make one large piece aka my custom stencil. I laid the large piece on a quarter sheet of Basic White Cardstock and then spritzed over the stencil with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and several drops of Bermuda Bay Ink Refill.
Once I had my background all set on a Pool Party card base I got to the pretty parts--stampin' flowers. It was fun combining the florals and leaves with pieces from the Artistic Expression Ephemera Pack. For the greeting I used Versamark, White Embossing Powder, and Bermuda Bay Cardstock. Last thing I did was to add some Linen Thread and Adhesive Backed Hexagons.
