Woodblock Wednesday snuck up on me this month. It’s been hard to get to everything that needs to be done after being away for 10 days. I’m making progress, but had to hop to it to get this card made. Fortunately, the image didn’t need any coloring. It took several tries to get a good stamping, so I tried both Copics and colored pencils on some the rejects, and decided this woodblock print was best left alone.
This Magenta stamp has no name printed on it, and is almost as big as the card! I have no idea where or when I purchased it.
I chose two narrow mats–one dark green and another gold, and layered them on a red mini-slimline card. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve made a mini-slimline card but it was perfect for this stamp.
The sentiment is one of Memory Box’s Black Greeting Tabs. I tried to purchase another set of them this year, but was only able to find a “Happy Holidays” version. They’re just right so many times!
This is off as my second entry into the Festive Friday Gallery–it’s just a perfect list of elements for a Christmas card. This time I used red, green, gold, and a Christmas sentiment. The gold mat probably qualifies as glimmer as well.
If you celebrate Thanksgiving in the U.S. I hope the gathering is one of laughter and love! I have so many blessings to be thankful for.
A stunning card. I think that stamp is absolutely gorgeous – is it to big to emboss?
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Such a beautiful image… and I happened to have used the same one for my Woodblock Wednesday card! It took me several tries to finally get a great impression. That right edge on mine was just not cooperating! I see your comment above that you had to re-stamp it also. Took me 6 tries!
THIS is so gorgeous Karen. Love how you left the stamped holly uncolored. It’s simply beautiful. thanks so much for joining me for Woodblock Wednesday…I know it’s a busy time of year.
Very pretty card! I love that image and I was sad when you said it had no name and you have no idea where you got it. Oh well-we can’t own all the craft supplies! 😂
A beautiful card Karen! I like how you have mixed in the items from the Festive Friday inspo list on this one. Thank you for joining in on our challenge this week!
What a great card, Karen! Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday Challenge. Blessings, Beth 🙂
