For this one-layer card I used stamps from the beautiful autumn-themed stamp sheet that comes with the current issue of Creative Stamping. First I stamped a sentiment from the sheet, then (using faint pencil guidelines which I later erased because I'm a wimp) I stamped the four background squares by inking up my smallest square acrylic block with distress inks, spritzing it very lightly with water and stamping it down onto the card. I chose a berry silhouette stamp from the set and stamped it at a different angle on each square, then used a white gel pen to brighten the highlights on each berry.

ReplyDeleteReally lovely Jane!
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed those squares were done with acrylic block stamping. Terrific job, Jane! And clever — not wimpy — to draw in guidelines with a pencil. Great colours and finishing touch with the white pen highlights. Thank you for joining us at Less is More. x
