Head over to the challenge blog here for more information and to see the projects from the rest of the team.

I used the fruit in the photo as my inspiration.  This was the first time I'd used a stamp set from Berry Blessings which was part of the last Saleabration from Stampin' Up and it was quite a challenge!

Each part of the image (berries, berry tops and leaves) involves two stamps - an outline and a filler!  It took me a while to put this together and it's still not perfect!!

I used Real Red and Mossy Meadow ink pads - stamping the outlines full strength and the fillers stamped off.

The sentiment is from the same set and I also used a scalloped die and patterned paper from Stampin' Up.
