Amy's April edition of Woodblock Wednesday has started. Once a month, she has a challenge to use Woodblock Stamps. I try and play along each month - to give my Woodblock stamps some love.
Earlier today I watched Jennifer McGuire and Aaron Leventhal from Hero Arts doing a live FB about the history of stamping - and it inspired me to get out some of my Hero Arts stamps. I must say the majority of my Woodblock stamps are from Hero Arts.
The focal image for this one was inspired by Shari Carroll. I remembered seeing her fussy cut the floral image I used so decided I liked the idea.
The card started with the background stamping of Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp. I used Altenew Silver Sage Fresh Dye ink. I then stamped one of the stamps from the Peeking Posies set with Versafine Onyx Black ink and used Zig Markers to colour it. I then did the fussy cutting using both my craft knife and tiny scissors. I cut the dark grey piece and scored it every 1/4" for some texture. Not the best pic, but my usual editing tool is not working today.
Today is ANZAC Day here in NZ. It's a public holiday when we take time to think about all those service men and women who fought in wars. It's a bit of a cooler day, as Autumn is truly here now, so a good day to spend some time in the craft room. Got this one done, plus a birthday card for Finn (it's not till June 23rd but I wanted to get ahead!)
