It’s the last Wednesday in October, so it’s Woodblock Wednesday. I missed last month so I wanted to be sure to play along. Halloween seems like a good bet, but I have all my Halloween cards made. As I was looking through my woodblock stamps I came upon several “block” design stamps made by Stamp It! I immediately had an idea for this one of three horizontal blocks dated 2000.
The pencil and the sentiment both have a whimsical design, and I thought they were probably by the same company. But not: the pencil is from Judith and the thank you is from Embossing Arts 1989. After stamping the design, I colored the pencils with Copic markers. I die cut the stamped panel with the smaller die from Gina K Designs Master Layout #1 and then a black panel with the larger die which creates a very narrow border. They were added to a bright yellow card base.
Thanks as always to Amy for this monthly inspiration to get out my old woodblock stamps.
I’m sending this off to the Neglected Stuff Challenge. It’s been so long I don’t remember ever using the “block” design stamp, and it’s been a few years for the other two stamps.

That’s charming! I really like it. It reminds me of the days when Dad used to sharpen pencils with a penknife!
