Hello and welcome to another edition of Woodblock Wednesday. I missed last month's Woodblock Wednesday with a migraine and flu bug at the same time. In fact, I'm still dealing with it and it may have turned into something else. Since I wanted to try and do my best to participate in this month's so I pulled out some old, retired, Hero Arts stamps I received from a friend and got to work. I decided to "ink" the floral one by coloring directly onto the stamp image using my dusty Stampin Up watercolor crayons then misting it with water, then stamping it onto a Neenah white scrap repeating the steps three times. I then inked a "grid" square shadow stamp using Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink and over-stamping the grid on top of my flowers before pulling out a retired Stampin Up Wonderful Words wood set. I then took a Picket Fence blending brush using it to stipple more tattered rose distress ink around the edges of my image panel. After layering it, and adhering it to black card, I added some pink sequins to the flower centers that I found in my stash that I've had for ages and never used.

Bonnie Lynn, for not feeling so great, your card is absolutely beautiful. I hope that the process of creating helped you feel a smidge better. Thinking of you and hope you feel better soon. Thanks so much for joining me at Woodblock Wednesday!

This is beautiful, Bonnie! That's my favorite technique and I love the watercolor effect you achieved. Layering it with the square stamps adds great interest! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! I hope that bug(s) packs up and leaves you very soon. Migraines are bad enough without bugs! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I am sad to hear you are not getting better! I'll keep praying for you. I do love this card, it's very ethereal looking and spring-like. Wonderful work, my friend. xoxo
