My in-laws bought this Holly Berry House 3-D stamp for my birthday in July, so I HAD to make a special birthday card for my MIL! The grapes were embossed three times on watercolor paper, colored with re-inkers and aquapainter, cut out (whew!), and layered with 3M foam tape. The sentiment from Delight in Life was gold embossed, then stamped Weathered for the background, sponged the edges, added paper piercing, ribbon and gold cord, and gold brads. My MIL LOVED it! Hope you enjoy it too! Thanks so much for your comments!
