You may or may not know that while I love the color purple, I have an aversion to stamping with it.  I don’t know why.  Sometimes things like this just aren’t logical and can’t really be explained.  So while I know many of you fell totally in love with the new color Blackberry Bliss when the new In-Colors were revealed a couple of months ago, I secretly thought, “Uh-oh.  Another purple.”

But I’m trying to overcome my purple phobia.  I think Blackberry Bliss is a gorgeous color, and I am determined to use it.  Don’t you have a color that strikes fear in your heart when you see it in a color challenge or need to use it for a certain project?  Surely I’m not the only one.

I recently got the new set, Choose Happiness, and wanted to ink it up.  I started with some of the Typeset dsp, which I painted with a layer of gesso, and then spritzed with some Blackberry Bliss ink.  The dsp is from the Park Lane dsp pack.

I think this stamp set has such pretty images.  I chose some and created a bit of a collage with the stamps and embellishments.  I think this will be a fun set with which to play around.

Enjoy your Monday.  Thanks for stopping by!
