STAMPlorations Stamp Release Day 3

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 3 of the new stamp release Blog Hop over at STAMPlorations. They are introducing a new set of Layering Stamps designed by Shirley under her label The Bee's Knees. Today my teamies and I are showcasing Layered Holly, a set of solid and outline stamps in Shirley's loose and sloshed style perfect for those artsy Christmas cards. Here is my DT piece ...

Well, I had to dip into my pigment powders again, this time I ended up using Brilliant Red and Emerald Green Brusho. The leaves and berries were inked, spritzed with water and stamped. Outlines and sentiment were gold embossed.

I really like how the brusho background adds interest to the stamped leaves whilst the water spritzing does the same for the berries. I had inked the leaves with a slightly darker green around the outside, but it doesn't really show, maybe there was not enough contrast between the greens.

Back to the hop, there are three sets in this release, and I had much fun playing with them. Here they are:
