When I first made my prints, I did not make the first print. I put the paper over to make the negative print or second print and wasted a lot of paint. That is when Becca got the call for instuructions!! When I made the print, there were some distressed areas. I thought it looked cool. Then I wanted to use purple grapes but wondered if they would show against the bold background. I decided to seperate it a little with green leaves and pop some of the grape bunches up. I added a green ribbon. There are also three purple gems on the popped bunches of grapes.
Stamps used: one of my very first Stamping Up sets.
