I chose to work with the Berry Sweet stamp set and I paired it with some fab paper from Crate Paper.
I was lucky enough to snag one of the kits that this stamp originally came with and this kit was oozing sweetness!

Berry Sweet


I've used the current sketch over at Retro Sketches for this one.  I stamped my berry image with Ripe Avocado ink and then over stamped the image with Loopy Polkas background stamp.  Then I paper pieced the strawberries popping up the larger one for dimension.  I thought it was time to pull out my sewing machine again.......I've missed it!  I think the simple stitched border was all it
needed to jazz it up!  Oh and did you notice the border?  Its a border punch!  I finally pulled out one of my MANY and used it!  Thanks to my friend Christina for the inspiration!




I'd love to hear what you think of these stamps! 
Thank you sweet friends for always being a listening ear here on my blog!  Have a wonderful day!
