Make It Monday- Creating Backgrounds with Non-background Stamps

Hello fellow papercrafting addicts; hope this Wednesday is finding you well. The weather is unseasonably cool here right now, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I only hope it lasts, because I'm just not a 100 degree weather kind of girl.
I'd like to share my card for this week's Make It Monday challenge for Papertrey Ink on Nichole's blog, which is to create a background with stamps not usually used for backgrounds. Fun Stuff! I do this frequently, because I just love stamped backgrounds.
I am just in love with the Sweet Baby stamps; they're just so darn cute. I'm almost embarassed to admit, however, that this is the first time I've inked up the Tiny Treats: Birthday set. I'd been wanting to combine those sweet little animal images from the Tiny Treats set with the Sweet Baby set since I first laid eyes on the Sweet Baby set, so this seemed like the perfect time to do just that.

What's in it: (everything is from Papertrey Ink)
Cardstock: Soft Stone, Simply Chartreuse, Enchanted Evening
Stamps: Sweet Baby, Tiny Treats: Birthday, Turning a New Leaf,  Baby Button Bits (sentiment)
Inks: Simply Chartreuse, Enchanted Evening
Dies: Sweet Baby
Impression Plate: Animal Print
Ribbon: Enchanted Evening Swiss Dot
Twine: Rustic Cream button twine
Button: Enchanted Evening vintage buttons
So what are you waiting for? Grab your stamps, and make a background!
Smooch!
