Acrylic Block Stamping

The challenge this week for the Mod Squad is to use an acrylic block to stamp the background. I am also entering this in the StampTV Monthly Mix challenge - Autumn is in the Air, the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Gina K. giveaway and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Stamp It for STAMPtember.


This was rather fun to do. I took an acrylic block, stamped some ink on it with ink cubes and spritzed it with water. Then I turned it over and stamped it on a piece of photo paper. I had a bit too much water so it made a few splatters around the block. I let this dry completely and stamped the leaves and sentiment.

I matted it with green and adhered it to a white card base. I thought about adding some more splatters but didn't want to ruin what I had, so I decided to leave it alone!

I used the following supplies:
Gina K. Designs: Stamp n Foil Where Flowers Bloom Stamp set, Birthday Blessings Stamp set
                             Ink: Coral Reef, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Grass Green, Fresh

                                        Asparagus, Honey Mustard and Warm Cocoa
                             Fresh Asparagus cardstock
water spritzer, white cardstock, photo paper from my stash
