Fun with Fruit

The challenge blog Our Creative Corner are wanting us to have some Fun with Fruit this week. I most certainly have had fun, I love to try something different. I bought this stamp only yesterday, so this is my first play with it. I stamped it as it is, and coloured it all over with DI Old Paper and Antique Linen. I painted around the border with Vintage Photo, applied as a watercolour. I stamped the main image again, coloured the leaves first. I then touched some areas of the grapes with a white oil pastel crayon, I was so pleased when I added the Dusty Concord, the oil pastel resisted the purple colour giving the desired reflective areas. I then cut it out and added it as a decoupage layer. Matted the image onto black card and decorated the card.  Thanks for the diferent theme with a chance to play with my new stamp.
