Technique: Acrylic Block Stamping

I am running late today (what a big surprise!), so a simple layout to highlight a cool technique, acrylic block stamping. Sharon Field came up with this technique. Just simply ink up your clear acrylic block with dye-based, Classic ink and stamp to create a neutral background filler.

Since the ink doesn't soak into the block at all, but rather sits on top, it gives an aged and uneven look when you stamp on cardstock. This technique works well with the vintage look of French Foliage.

I stamped the leaf with Bravo Burgundy and then colored in the open space with a More Mustard Watercolor Crayon and Aquapainter. WebDeb from Stampin' Addicts inspired the colors and layout for this card.

Stamps: French Foliage, Because I Care; Paper: Crumb Cake, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White; Ink: Crumb Cake, Bravo Burgundy, Black Stazon; Accessories: Mustard button, Linen thread, More Mustard Watercolor Wonder Crayon, Aquapainter, Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by!
