Woodblock Wednesday

I’m back with another card made with one of my loved, but often neglected, woodblock stamps. This one is from Rubbermoon. Twenty-three years ago we took our kids (then teenagers) on a three week road trip through California. I planned a few stops along the way around some stamp stores. At the time, California had a plethora of stamp stores while here in the Northeast, they were few and far between. While we were in San Francisco I went to a store that specialized in Rubbermoon stamps. I’m not sure if that was where I purchased this one, but I still have a nice selection of their wooden stamps. Last month I took a huge carton of my wooden stamps to a local charity where they resell your craft supplies to support programs for senior citizens. Several of my Rubbermoon stamps escaped the purge.

You can see that the card is about the same size as the stamp. I chose an A4 card from Paper Source, stamped it in black and used my Polychromos pencils to color it.

The sentiment is from an old favorite set from Papertrey Ink, “Wishes Come True.” The only embellishment was adding a touch of glitter to the stars with a Wink of Stella pen which sadly you can’t see in the photo.

Thanks to Amy Tsuruta for the inspiration to pull out my woodblock stamps again!
