Inspired By

 

It's going to be a really hot day here in VA so staying indoors in the AC is my plan of action! I decided to play along with the Inspired By challenge which has a berry photo for inspiration. I was definitely inspired by the blueberries and went with a favorite 4 step stencil from Papertrey Ink called Berry Branches. 

I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink onto heavy weight vellum paper then embossed with clear embossing powder. I cut two skinny postage frames, adhered them together, then popped it up with small foam dots.

I wanted more than just blueberries in my garden, so added some Gerbera daisies. I cut down two of the leaves to make them smaller than what came with the die set.

STAMPS: Garden Blessings (Papertrey Ink).
