Tea Break

 Hello Friends!


Today I am sharing this sweet Tea card that I made for July's Woodblock Wednesday Challenge by Amy Tsuruta @craftee1




Here is a close up of just my card:



For this A2 card I started by stamping the Tea stamp from Stampin Up called Gentle Thoughts.  I colored the image in with Copic markers and mounted it on some White paper that I had embossed.  I took a piece of Lemoncraft Pink Paper and mounted that on a White Card Base.  I took the colored image and added that to the card.   I love this card because it reminds me of the Tea Parties I had with my daughters when they were younger.  I hope you like it too!

Meow you doin'?

 Hello Friends,


Today I am sharing a card that I made for Woodblock Wednesday May Edition by Amy Tsuruta.



For my card I used Woodblock Stamp Feline Curious by Stampendous.  I stamped the stamp with Black ink and I colored it in with Copic Markers.  I used a Miss Ink Stencil and some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide.  I mounted that on Black paper and mounted that onto a Green card base.  The sentiment is from Sunny Studio Meow & Forever.  I love this stamp because it looks just like my cat Rascal!


I am entering this in the Woodblock Wednesday May Edition:



Now be sure to hop on over and check out all the fun creations and then it is your turn to break out a woodblock stamp and join in the fun!  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!


Happy Woodblock Wednesday!!
