Hello and welcome to the fourth edition of Woodblock Wednesday. Today's project isn't in my traditional style, which I think is clean + simple. I'm featuring Impress Large Hibiscus [5636H] + retired A Muse Studio In My Thoughts [9-8633C].
My base panel is bristol that has been cut using the Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies. I did quick stenciling with an older memory box stencil and Crushed Olive Distress Oxide.
The Large Hibiscus has been inked up with Versafine Onyx on Bristol. Keeping things real, I inked this up before and watercolored it with Peerless but didn't like the overall coverage. This image is quite hefty so after I had photog'd it [I always make last minute decisions during photo editing], I went back to the drawing board on the main image. I used the same Versafine and Bristol but instead used 4 different shades of Pink Zigs:
Sugared Almond Pink | Peach Pink
Pink | Dark Pink
I may have gone a bit overboard with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Gold but generally when I do paint splattering it doesn't come through in my photography. This certainly did but I have to tell you, the shimmer is AMAZING.
So, I decided to whip up another project that more closely aligned to my style. It still uses the beautiful Impress Large Hibiscus [5636H] + a different sentiment, Savvy Stamps - Oh Hello Friend [1481E].
My original intention was to not overlap the hibiscus but I did by accident, stepped back and decided I liked it.
I absolutely LOVE that sentiment.
The pop of color is a Melon Mambo panel by Stampin' Up.
Today, I'm so excited to introduce you to my first Guest Designer for Woodblock Wednesday:
Oh my goodness, don't you LOVE her project?! She used the same main image [love it inked in pink!]. For all the details on her project, please visit her BLOG + IG.
Thank you so much Kimberly for joining me today! Her use of bright + vibrant colors is always gorgeous!
