Used a stamp positioner to align the individual letters. Foliage was covered with gloss medium.
This card was all about imperfection and what to do with it. I didn't realize when I stamped the berries how dry the ink pad had gotten so the letters ended up "distressed" and THEN I didn't catch a bit of ink on the edge of the upper left bordering rubber of the H and had to draw in 3 holly berries there to cover; to balance the extra berries it was necessary to draw in another on the stem above and to the left where there were 2. But in the end I'm happy with it LOL

I love the beautiful result of the imperfection you noted. This is an awesome card. Kudos on the placement of the letters in the word HOLLY. I love the sparseness (is that a word??) of the inking and the affect of the glossy accents. Thanks so much for playing at Less Is More.
Imperfections? Where ? Your card is gorgeous and I especially love how you inked the letters. It gives a vintage look. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More.
I looove the distressed look of your text, and how bold yet simple it is!
