Woodblock Wednesday November 2023 Edition

 

 

Hello and welcome to November's edition of Woodblock Wednesday where we're pulling out, dusting off and showing our woodblock stamps some love.  The stamp I've chosen to use this month is an old factory second stamp I had received from a friend that was manufactured by Embossing Arts Company that unfortunately closed several years ago.  

I started out by stamping the image in memento tuxedo black ink on Neenah white cardstock before coloring it using my Castle Arts watercolor pencils and a blending alcohol marker.  Once I was done coloring, I lightly blended some Tim Holtz chipped sapphire and dusty concord distress inks using the paper pouncers I received as a birthday gift.  I then layered the main image, added brads before distressing the edges just a little.  Once my image was adhered to the card, I added some silver dew drops and ice stickles to highlight the moon and parts of the lake.  Here's a close up of my card:
