It’s the last Wednesday in the month, so it’s Woodblock Wednesday hosted every month by Amy Tsuruta. I was delighted to be asked by Amy to be a guest this month. I chose one of my favorites: three little cupcakes by Lockhart Stamp Co. I still have a small collection of Lockhart Stamps; they are a favorite of mine.
The first thing I tackled was to make the checkered border. It’s so tiny it can be difficult to get a clean look. The best thing I’ve found for that is to use a Staedtler triplus fineliner. I bought a pack of them over 15 years ago, and they’ve come in handy so often when I need to color a tiny space. The rest of the image was colored with Copic markers. I die cut the image using one of Simon Says Stitched Rectangles, and cut a second one to layer behind it.
I added some glitter to the cupcake papers (difficult to see) and some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the cherries on top of the cupcakes. The sentiment is from A Muse Artstamps–another favorite woodblock manufacturer. Finally, I added three Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Drops to the back panel.
Thanks, Amy, for inviting me to be your guest today!
This is so sweet Karen. I always love your clean + crisp designs.
Thank you so much for joining me this month for Woodblock Wednesday!
a sweet treat of a card
Another winner! Love all the elements that have come together to make something substantial out of what is a relatively small image.
Don’t know whether you have left yet, but safe journeys and have a fantastic time!
