I have wanted to make a wood-cut looking card for a long time. Today was the day!
I picked three flowers making sure they were outline
stamps. I am so in love with these by Altenew, the stamps are actually
from two different sets. The large flower had a corresponding filler
stamp, for the the smaller ones I used the filler stamp for leaves.
I used distress inks from a refiller, because I wanted the ink looking uneven. I also selected a super porous paper that took up the ink without drying time - that way I could be sure the coverage was uneven and it would be looking like it was applied by a wooden block.
I then matted it with pale blue, added a scribbled frame and some Nuvo drops.
The sentiment is by Creative-Depot, it has a nice calligraphy feel to it.
Entering it in:

ReplyDeleteI’m reminded of those scrimshaw blocks we made back in 6th Grade; after carving the design from the wood, we used different colors with that one created stamp to make a stamped cloth towel.
ReplyDeleteIf that’s what ‘wood cut’ is…
you nailed it- BEAUTIFULLY!!
Your card, as well as your technique, brings back memories for me, yet my make back then was not anywhere nearly as airy, light, and peaceful as I see in your make here. This is art at its most simplistic & BEAUTIFUL!!
