Hello Dear Friends!
Today, I have used a very old wooden block stamp from a company called
Stamps Happen, Inc. (I don't see where they are still in business)
and I've watercolored my stamped image using Tombow markers.
By googling, I see this stamp is still available on Etsy.
After coloring, I decided to die cut it using the Memory Box
'Wrapped Stitched Frames' (#30117) and then adhered
it to my deep navy blue card base (though it looks black in the photo).
A little doodling on the edges and my card is complete.
I hope you've found inspiration from today's creation!
The prize that you'll be playing for this time around is:
Remember, it's a random draw for the winner so it could be YOU!!

ReplyDeleteGreat coloring on this very pretty card! Hugs my friend.
ReplyDeleteLooks like many of us used older stamps that we have had for years. So good to see this one that you elected to look like you sketched it with a pen. I love that rustic look. Thanks for telling me about the Color Options!
ReplyDeleteThis card is spot on for the challenge, I love it. Your coloring is perfect and I really like your design. That doodling along the edges is genius, I never think to do that. Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh, love these old woodblock stamps! Stamps Happen had some of the best stuff and this one couldn't be more perfect for the challenge. Your watercoloring looks fabulous and I love how the frame worked out being cut and then put back together. A nice effect! I'm so happy to be back on the team!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercoloring of the image and pretty framing, I love your doodling with it!
ReplyDeleteLove your scene, a gorgeous card.xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous colours and brilliant design. Loving this... ♥
ReplyDeleteAlthough an old stamp it is still such a gorgeous image for this card Darlene. Lovely colouring too.
