Another week and another wonderful sketch by Edna Morrisedie! I tried several different approaches on this one but in the end decided to use something other than a half circle. Instead I used Spellbinders Labels 1--the largest die. It is set at an angle with one corner cut off. The rick rack circle I used for the sentiment is a PTI die and the sentiment is from WM Compact Sentiments. My happy mail this past week included some new Memento inks plus stamps and dies from WPlus9. Just couldn't wait to use these scrumptious berries. The base is the largest WM gingham stamp done in Elderberry ink, as are the blackberries! The strawberries are in the new Love Letter and I am LOVING this red! A piece of narrow rick rack and some red pearls complete the design!
I am sending this card off to our daughter-in-law for her birthday this weekend. Thanks for taking a peek! I have tons of stamping projects that I need to work on so that should keep me busy for the next week or so!
Enjoy your week!
