Now, if you don't have the Betterpress system, Pinkfresh Studio also has a stamp set with the same image, which I'll also have linked up at the end of this post.
I used the festive border across the top and bottom of my cardstock, using black hybrid ink from my stash. Because I used a lighter weight of Neenah cardstock, I didn't get as deep of a Letterpress impression. There was cardstock included with my Betterpress system but it was a light gray and I needed white. I will definitely be getting my hands on some heavier weight cardstock.
However, if you don't have a stamp positioner, let me tell you, you can actually use the Betterpress as a stamp positioner as well!
To color my images I used my OLO Markers. I wanted to keep it simplistic so I selected 3 complimentary colors of green and brown. I think traditionally, colorists go with red for berries, but I'm not traditional, haha!
I've actually got some brownish berries in my backyard blooming on some bushes. as we speak.
To finish my card, I splattered some gold paint for a little shine and shimmer, and also splattered white paint around my greenery.
I picked some olive green paper from one of my paper pads as the backing for my card panel. Both the panel and paper were adhered flat for easy mailing.
