Using a stamping platform such as the MISTI makes using watercolour stamps really easy. It means that you can stamp parts of a large stamp such as this one, in small sections and still get it perfectly in place. I used three colours of markers on each berry and a couple of shades on the branch. I was really pleased with the result.
The stamp is from Penny Black and the die cut sentiment from Creative Dies.
I added a little clear Wisp of Stella over each berry although it doesn't show up too clearly on this photo.
This is my DT card for the Christmas Challenge at Happy Little Stampers
Where as ever it's an Anything Goes Challenge with the optional twist of including something linked to nature.
Making Christmas cards throughout the year saves so much stress as Christmas approaches so do come and join us, it has worked for me!
Your berries are beautiful Chrissie and the textured card is a wonderful backdrop.

I love this technique and have a few PB stamps I can use. Not this one though and you've colored it beautifully, Chrissie.
