Having been away for a week, April has disappeared more quickly than usual, and here we are at the last Wednesday. It's time for Woodblock Wednesday.
This month I chose to CASE a card I made in a class over 25 years ago! I replicated the card multiple times for several years, but it's been a long time and as soon as I saw the stamp I decided to create an updated version.
The layered lighthouse scene is layered much the way it was on the original card. I changed a very dark purple card base for brighter cardstock, added an embossed background, some yellow for the light in the lighthouse as well as a sentiment on a tag. The original had no sentiment on the front and a tag with a charm hung from the top left side of the card. The wooden stamp is from Paper Parachute, and the embossing folder is from Lifestyle crafts. The embossing of the stars was almost too deep, but die cutting the panel with Gina K's Master Layourt #1 flattened it just the right amount. The sentiment is from Simon Says' Your Light set.
Even with a closer look, it's hard to see that I added a bit of metallic gold to each of the circles in the border as well as the centers of the stars in the sky. The little tag for the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Tag Creations: Modern Gift. In addition to the dimensional tape added to the layers in the scene, I added a layer of dimension behind the embossed panel. This was a really fun project!
I'm just in time to add this to the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge where using an embossing folder is a requirement. The card is also going to the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.
