A Berry Christmas

Hi there.

I absolutely adore Penny Black Brushstrokes, however I rarely get it right first time! This was my 9th attempt!  I'm probably being hard on myself and I may go back and make cards with my rejects.



I used Zig Markers and some of my favourite colours are running out, so I'm sure if they are juicy, it would be easier to get the stamped effect I like. I sponged the edge of the card with Distress Oxide Inks.
I'm entering the following challenges:-

  1. This is beautiful Jenny - and thanks for persevering and sharing. I have sometimes gone back to pieces I have discarded as not good enough, and found I could use them!

  8. A beautiful job coloring this lovely stamp Jenny! I think every time you ink it it will come out different - the joys and frustrations of this type of coloring!! I'm sure you can use some of the prior rejects when you go back to look at them! xx

  9. This one is perfect, but I bet the previous eight weren't disasters in any way! I love how you left a halo of light in the centre. Thanks for playing along at Craft Stamper Take It, Make It!
