Trees and Jello


Hello and welcome.  Today I have another card to share made for this month's Woodblock Wednesday challenge.  While looking for the saying I used in yesterday's project, I came across this wood block stamp from Whipper Snapper that I totally forgot I had.  I must have bought it either online, or at a stamp convention, 20 years ago.  

 I started out by stamping the saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto a top note die cut I received from a secret sister a while back before stippling Tim Holtz spiced marmalade and tumbled glass distress inks around it.  My card is stamped in using a retired Stampin Up Fresh Fillers wood block set (I haven't used in years) in tangerine tango ink before adhering my die cut saying panel.  Once that was finished, I pulled out some dusty prima flowers and adhered them to the card before pulling out my Martha Stewart fern punch and punching scrap green card stock with Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink stippled over them.  I then adhered the "ferns" to my card and added some bling to finish it off.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out since I was making it with another migraine.

    Lol, this card takes me back to how excited I would get when school started back up again - so much more room and time to get stuff done with the kids out, lol. Very cute! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
