Beyond words

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments inspiration challenge using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I’ve loved the effect of brushstroke stamps since my early stamping days but found it difficult to get it ‘right’ with wood-mounted stamps. Fortunately we now have cling stamps and the misti, which makes things so much easier!

I chose the beautiful Brilliant Berries stamp (40-911) which I coloured using distress inks and markers. I masked off a frame and lightly blended some distress ink over the background before splattering some dark green paint across the image. After removing the mask, I added some glitter to the berries, stamped a couple of sentiments from the Ever Thanks set (30-813) and added a twine bow.

Thanks for stopping by!
