I hope you are well and taking advantage of extra craft time.
I've used a NBUS stamp from PTI that has been waiting far too long
for some attention.
The image was stamped with Shadow Gray Archival ink
and colored with Arteza Watercolor Pencils blended with a waterbrush.
I used an Arteza Twimarker for the berries. There's a wonderful tiny felt tip end
on them that works beautifully for those little places.

I wish you good health and sunny days.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
