Hello,
Well I saw the TLC challenge and slunk down in my chair because I have never liked acrylic block stamping but when I saw Judy's sample and her explanation of what she did I thought "yes!" I will do that. So my first atempt with ink pads did not work for some reason even after misting, the ink would not come off the block. I then tried spray inks and water and stamped the entire panel as it was splashing up on the part I wasn't going to stamp anyway! When I was finished I was happy because it looked like a rainy sky (sort of). I had this stamp from Crissy Armstrong (Whimsy Stamps) that I have been wanting to use. I stamped it on the water/ink stamped background then again on white so I could color the image and cut it out! I even cut out the little flower and leaves! The grass area I was able to color with the Copics.
I used a spot/blotchy spot EF on the lavender panel, lined with yellow panel and mounted on a white card after wrapping with ribbon.
I kinda like it! Much better than I was thinking! I do need a sentiment but I ran out of time and couldn't think of one yet!...Might have to add it inside with a little die cut Hello on the front maybe...Tell me what you think!
Thanks for looking!
