Hello Friends
Amy Tsuruta has her Woodblock Wednesday challenge up and running and I've been trying to join in each month as
it gives me the opportunity to play with all my old wooden block stamps
which don't get the love they deserve since clear stamps came about.
The wood block stamps I've used today are Inkadinkado (birdnest) and a sentiment stamp from an OLD Stampin' Up set called 'Spring Song'.
My background designer paper is from a P13 6x6 pack called 'Time to Relax'.
After coloring my image with Tombow markers, I rounded the top corners and matted it with a scrap of purple card stock and rounded the top corners on the matting. Nuvo purple crystal drops were used on the sentiment & image panels for a bit of dimension.

Hey Darlene! What a gorgeous card! I love that wooden block stamp you've used! Stunning image and I love your pairing with the papers you've used too! (Gosh, I still have a few of those wooden blocks myself! How fun!) Thank you for sharing your beautiful inspiration with us at the Alphabet Challenge my friend!
ReplyDeleteYou have a most beautiful Inkadinkado collection! This stamp goes perfectly with the paper, especially the way you colored it. Pretty inside, too!
ReplyDeleteLove wood stamps and this image is pretty. great coloring and great background paper. Thanks for sharing over at Alphabet challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi, Darlene! Thanks for the heads up regarding "Wood Block Wednesday"! What a great challenge! I actually have that Inkadinkadoo bird nest block stamp! Michael's used to carry them, and those details were always so sweet and pretty. It is the colors you have chosen, and the background paper which makes this card especially lovely. Thanks for the inspiration to get mine out soon!

Your Wood Block Wednesday challenge is a delightful way to breathe new life into those beloved wood block stamps. The combination of the Inkadinkado bird nest and the sentiment from Stampin' Up's 'Spring Song' is simply perfect. I adore the choice of the P13 'Time to Relax' designer paper and the way you matted the image with the purple card stock. The Nuvo purple crystal drops add such a lovely touch of dimension.
