Woodblock Wednesday June 2023

 

 

Hello and welcome to another edition of Woodblock Wednesday where the challenge is to pull out those woodblock stamps that are collecting dust and show them some love again.  I bought the Stampabilities ©Peanuts stamp almost 20 yrs ago and to this day it's still one of my favorites even though I don't use it much.  The stamp image along is long enough to make a mini slimline card, and that was before slimline cards were a "thing".  The Art Impressions saying I bought at a stamp convention around the same time as the ©Peanuts one.

 

After stamping the image in memento tuxedo black ink, I colored the image using both prismacolor and copic markers before adding the clouds using a Picket Fence Studios slimline cloud stencil, tumbled glass distress ink and my Picket Fence Studios blending brushes. I then stippled the grass using my brushes and Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink.  I then adhered the panel to a blue slimline card before highlighting the saying using a black Castle Arts gel pen.

 

Here are my stamps used:

Jesus

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share an Easter card made using a Stampabilities stamp I've had for sometime and never used.  Why you might ask?  I have no idea why I haven't used it before now.  

I started out by stamping it in Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink onto Neenah white card stock before coloring it using Castle Arts pencils.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled some tea dye distress ink over everything using my Picket Fence Studios blending brushes before layering and adding brads.  Before I added my layered panel to my card, at the last minute, I decided to distress the bottom edges of the layered panel using a Tonic distresser tool, then added it to my card using dimensionals.  I then stamped Jesus from a retired Taylored Expressions Yahweh mini set in walnut stain distress ink, layered, and distressed the bottom layer.  Since I didn't want to add any brads, but still wanted a finished look, I added some "faux brads" by punching some micro dots from scrap card stock then added using a Martha Stewart glue pen.  I then adhered it to my card also using dimensionals.  As my finishing touch, I added some Ranger Glossy Accents around the "dirt floor" of the card before mixing in some Stampin Up really rust embossing powder to make the "dirt floor" more real before highlighting the 3 nails my toddler Jesus was playing with using a 3D glaze pen.  I'm really happy with how it turned out since I made it while still dealing with a migraine.  Felt I had to focus on something beside dealing with the pain.
