I look forward to Woodblock Wednesday every month, and actually wish I had saved a few more of my woodblock stamps. I got down to the wire this month, just finishing this last night. The stamp is a Magenta one that I used over and over before the stamping world exploded with acrylic and red rubber stamps. I was in the mood to watercolor so got out my Daniel Smith palette and mixed up a bit of yellow, green, and blue.
The sketch is one I saw on one of the recent videos by Jill Foster for Penny Black, a series called “Permission to Play.” All her sketches utilize embossing folders, and this is a new one of mine: 3-D Checkered Squares by Altenew. I cut a narrow strip of the watercolor paper to add a border where the watercolor and the embossing folder meet.
The sentiment also comes from a new set: All Occasion Script from The Greetery. I’ll be tossing this in the fabulous gallery at NBUS to celebrate using another two new products, along with one of my oldest!
Karen, you always have the best stamps! This is gorgeous! Love the added embossing folder too.
thanks for playing along with the June Woodblock Wednesday!
LOVE this wood block stamp Karen. Lovely watercolouring and perfect with the sketch from Jill. That embossed strip is beautiful, vibrant, and works so well with the image. xx
So beautiful! I love the embossed paper and the watercoloring. You kept such a good selection of woodblock stamps.
FAB make … I actually have that stamp too (must look it out again), great NBUS too

I like the embossing folder with the 3D effects. Interesting wood block stamp – it reminds me of instant photos & their frames. 🙂
This really is just beautiful! I’m fond of its whimsical nature and you’ve done such a fabulous job with the watercolor. Love the embossed border, too. I have bunches of woodblock stamps from the older days, too. I’ve also acquired some new/old stamps. What a nice idea for a challenge!
This is lovely, and must have been quite fiddly to paint! I really like the green textured sidebar.
