For this card I used the Beyond Measure Stamp Set. I used my MISTI to place my berry images, coloring various parts of the image with one distress marker/ink, stamping, and then repeating with another color. I spritzed with water as I went along. The background is lightly watercolored with distress ink. When all was dry, I stamped the sentiment.
I got a little sketch inspiration from Sketch Saturday.
