Woodblock Wednesday - Tropical Vibes!

Woodblock Wednesday.

With - Amy Tsuruta

Well folks, beyond thrilled to join 
my friend Amy for 
Woodblock Wednesday.
She knows I have literally hundreds
 of wood block stamps.
And really love them.. 

Amy caught me buying a few when we ran into each other at the IMPRESS 32nd Anniversary. When I say ran into..I mean it.
  I was gazing at a shelf, I turned round and there she was...BOOP right in front of me..we looked at each other...
recognized each other and then laughed!

I am ALL about the plants and succulents now.  You will see alot of them since by haul was almost all plants and cacti...Some birds too!


Today I bring a Tropical Flair Card

Shaped Card!

I must admit I am in love with this Rainbow Cupcake Card!

 Today I used the same FREE Digital image to make two types of cards.  If you are just getting into digital, STAMPloration offers some FREE Digitals for you to "wet your feet" with.

Get your start!

These cards are more advanced than a beginner digital only if you are not able to re-size or isolate, erase, or "cut & paste" certain portions of a larger image in your current program you use for digital images.

If you are able to make these modifications, it opens you up to combine images as well as detach images from larger digital scenes.

I edited this image to cut and paste just the cupcake and enlarged it to fit a A2 card base size.  I was able to erase the attached lines of the other surrounding images.

I used Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend alcohol markers to color and attached a folded cream cardstock to the back with the card fold an inch below the berry top.  I then trimmed the card leaving about 1/4 inch around the image and left the bottom flat.

For the flat panel card I sized

 the image smaller for ample space for a 

coordinating mat color layer.

I hope you try digitals!

I really love the easy way I can print and color.  Less inky mess.

 (I am still inking..just not getting as messy as often!)

Artsystamper Addicts Design Team - Sketched Spring Blossoms

TheArtsystamperShop

I am sharing a new shop (to me) the amazing 
illustrated digital images of
 Beverly Cole

My second project is creating with the lovely images from the Sketched Spring Blossoms

This set is so beyond gorgeous.
I say that again, ALL of  Beverly's work
is beyond gorgeous

TRICKS and TIPS:

I added texture as well as interest by adding several layering colors in a random dotted pattern.

Additional depth was added by outlining in a soft grey to mimic a shadow to have the image appear to be lifted up just slightly from the white background.

This set is also offered already colored.....

WOW..

I love that!

Today I am sharing the same image 

TWO WAYS.

The Coffee and Roses Digital Stamps set

 --(PLUS Bonus tags!!)

 I hope you have been enjoying our hops so far!

Colorful 4x4 Card:

For the first card I made a 4 x 4 square card

coloring the images with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Alcohol Markers.  The Reds, Oranges and Corals really blend well.  I left harsher edges as I really wanted to see dark red then corals in the roses.

I added a touch of blue in the greenery and left the background white adding a blue matting layer

to carry on the blues.

I was going to keep it a note card theme

...but I could 

not resist the clear stickers....

I think they added the perfect balance.

I added Wink of Stella Clear to just the coffee.....added sweetness!

Monochromatic Background Only Card:

On the next card I really wanted to highlight the background to make the foreground really stand out.  I used the Tan Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend and did a freestyle water "spill"in the lightest color.

I outlined the image in the darkest tan and radiated outward darkest to lightest.

I added a few darker areas to really look like it was a coffee spill and some seeped thru the paper more deeply than in other areas.

I think it was successful and also made the image "pop"

I hope you try this technique as well!

Very nifty and handy Clear Stickers were used as sentiments.  I applied the clear stickers to white cardstock, trimmed it and then added with a glue pen to coordinating cardstock to match the card bases or matting layer, and then 

added mini pop up squares to adhere.

Cannot get any easier sentiments!
