Woodblock Wednesday.

 Time for Amy's monthly challenge - Woodblock Wednesday.

I had got a few stamps out that needed some love - a few Christmas ones and a couple of others.

I used a scripty stamp from a New Zealand based company - Rubadubadoo and a flower stamp from Penny Black.  I stamped the scripty stamp with Memento Toffee Crunch and did 1st and 2nd generation stamping with the flower.   I cut it with a Gina K Master Layout die and used the Toffee Crunch ink to blend around the edges before stamping the little sentiment from a House Mouse set.  I matted the panel onto a mustard coloured layer before adding to a square base.  

Now to make some more cards using those woodblock stamps I got out.

Craft Roulette #204

 second post for today.... see my first one HERE

*************************************************************************************

I haven't had time to take part in the Craft Roulette challenge for a few weeks - but today I watched the replay this afternoon.  As soon as I saw the parameters I knew what stamp I wanted to use.  

I recently got some of the Spellbinders House-Mouse Designs and I had them sitting on my desk.   There was one super cute mouse with some flowers so that became my main image - and meet the Ears element. 

Thinking of you sentiment, Fairy Tale colours - soft blues, greens, pinks and purple (Princess colours!), Mouse has cute little ears and I stamped a scripty background.

I started by stamping the Spellbinders House-Mouse - Bouquet for You in Versafine Onyx Black ink onto some mix media card by Fabriano.  I then took some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide inks and lightly sponged around the mouse.  I then added the script stamp from a NZ company called Rubbadubbadoo.  I used Altenew's Gray Denim ink for stamp with.  Just needed something light. I then got out my Distress inks - Tea Dye, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Sage Green, Mowed Lawn and added little blots of colour onto my painting palette and used a brush to paint the image.  All these colours are inspired by Fairy Tale Princess.  My Thinking of You was from a LDRS Creative Anytime Stack - stamped in black and clear embossed before cutting out with the matching die set.   Bonus is I now have a lot more sentiments done.  Really pleased how it all came together nicely.

Thanks for visiting today.  Hope your weekend is crafty.
