09.25.2024 Woodblock Wednesday: Hero Arts BIG OWL

 Amy Tsuruta is once again inspiring wood block

 love with a HOP! A Hero Arts Woodblock BIG OWL Hop...

This Woodblock Wednesday is they are doing things a bit different and have an added instagram hop for you!

A few of us have been banded together by Amy to help show the love of Big Owl by Hero Arts. 

His fun whirly bird feathers and wide stare resembles what I envision what a mechanized bird would look like.  I imagining his whirring around.

He's so bold he deserves a strong bold background so I have the vintage Winter Sparkle Background Wood stamp.  This quirky owl with a fun graphic pop of turquoise blue is perfect (for one of my brothers!)

 Leave comments by Monday, September 30th at 5 am for a chance to win a $20 Hero Arts Gift Card. One winner will be randomly picked from across all the comments left on each of the participating Guest Designer’s instagram posts. The winner will be announced on the @woodblockwednesday IG.

HOP Along to these other wonderful gals as well.
