Wood Block Wednesday Challenge

 

 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 is by Stacey Studios.  She is a local artist who had a small line of stamps several years ago.  I haven't used it in a very long time so today I actually created THREE different style cards with this one stamp.

Card #1 of 3

 This was my first design idea using this single zinnia stamp.  Simply stamped for the background then one focus flower for the center.  Only coloring was the flower centers and the leaf on the focus flower.

Card #2 of 3

I decided to add color to the flowers using my Tombow markers.  I used the marker alone for the focus flower and then used it along with water to create a watercolor for the background flowers.

Card #3 of 3

Lastly, I created a card using the stamp to create a border for my sentiment.  I've used a GOLD pilot marker to create the 'faux matting' around the background panel then used GOLD glossy paper (though difficult to see in the photo) for the sentiment backing.

 

It's truly amazing what you can create with one little stamp!!!

 Why not pop over and check out her blog and play along ... you know you have wood block stamps that need some love just like I do!  LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day ahead!!

As always . . .
