Thanks Heidi for the Great Tip!

Take a Tim Holtz felt applicator (I forget what its called - its a wood block with handle, velcro on the bottom - attach felt to it and rub the felt on your ink pads) - ink up with a light colour of ink (such as turquoise) - rub this ink over your paper in several areas. Leave a few white areas if you're using white paper. Stamp with versamark or preferred product. Sprinkle clear embossing powder over the stamped image, heat with heat tool. Then ink up another piece of felt, using a darker colour of ink (such as teal), rubbing over the embossed stamp but in selected areas so that you can see areas of turquoise, teal, and white. Ink it up (with felt applicator) in a manner that's pleasing to you - you can add several colours for more of a gradient effect if you like. This technique is particularly well suited for "backgrounds" created with stamps and can be used to great dynamic effect.

I would love help with our blog if anyone knows how to change the borders and backgrounds - please email or call me and remind me how I did it before!  We really wanted a different look over the Christmas holidays and I spent two hours trying to figure out how I did it last time.  I just do not have that kind of time to look at it again, so if someone could possibly remind me how I did it that would be fantastic!!!!!  I would be excited if I was able to give it a completely different look each month and I remember it was quick and easy to do - I just can not remember how I did it.
