Merry Wishes

Happy Saturday.

Today, I am having some fun with new stamps from Penny Black.

Lots of new to see HERE.

So onto my card.

I began by masking my card front with a piece of scrap paper.  I placed the Berry Speckled into my Misti and coloured the branches and berries using my Tombow markers, sprayed with water and stamped.  I repeated that process until I was happy with the inking.  

I sponged in the bkg using Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans Distress inks then did a bit of stenciling using some drywall tape.  I think it helps add some depth and interest to the background.

I splattered some white acylic paint over the top using a toothbrush, then scored the masked edge using my Scorbug.  For those of you that are not familiar with a Scorbug, it is a little tool that adds raised dots and is used in your ScorPal.

The sentiment was stamped using black Memento ink and my Misti again. The sentiment is from a great new sentiment set called Love and Peace.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I appreciate your most kind comments and emails so very much!
