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!
