Woodblock Wednesday | Slimline Card | Penny Black and A Muse Artstamps

Welcome to Woodblock Wednesday.  The day of the week to use woodblock stamps in your art.  On the last Wednesday of the month, my friend Amy celebrates her love of woodblock stamps with a post on her Woodblock Wednesday Instagram page. If you make a card of your own and link it to hers, you have a chance to win her giveaway.  Check out her IG post HERE.

I recently discovered two woodblock stamps in my stash and decided to use them to create this slimline card.  One is called Winsome, from Penny Black, 3811J, and circa 2007.  The other is called Beautiful Day from A Muse Artstamps.  Circa, unknown.  And, if you live in England, you can find the Penny Black stamp HERE.    

• I made a slimline card base using white cardstock.  Then I die-cut a piece of paper from my stash using a 3 5/8" x 8 5/8" stitched slimline die and adhered it to the card front. 
• I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 3" x 8" stitched rectangle die, stamped the Winsome stamp 4 times using black ink.  
• Next, using a blending brush, I added mustard seed distress ink on each of the big flowers and colored the rest using various markers.  Then I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.   
• Lastly, I glued mini crystals to the flowers, and stamped the "have a beautiful day" from A Muse Artstamps on a piece of white cardstock, die-cut it, layered it, and adhered it to the card front.  

Now it's your turn.  Go grab a woodblock stamp and make something creative.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
