ERASER CARVINGS & LINKED POST

Hi everyone! I have a quick little share today.

I needed a masculine card, and decided to use my carved eraser stamps. I just took a variety of them and stamped all over, for a background. I added some paper cord behind the sentiment, and added some walnut ink spray. One little pump, and I almost drowned this card.

 

I have a post today at Quietfire Creations.

I hope you like it.

 

Have an awesome weekend, and thanks for looking!

 

WHERE I'VE BEEN......CAN YOU GUESS?

We took a little vacation and before we left, I did a little eraser carving. Take note of the one on the bottom left.

I made a folder with GRACIAS stamped on them, one for each day we were there. I make them to put our housekeeping tip in each morning. DH puts it on the pillow and it's just a friendlier way to leave the tip. I did carve two styles of the GRACIAS as you can see on the folders.

We went to Akumal Beach Resort in Mexico. We absolutely LOVE it there.

This is the view from the lobby- only the beginning!

This lovely towel art was the first of the creations we came back to each day.

 

We were treated to complimentary champagne as well. Maybe because it was our fourth visit to the resort. It's our home away from home.  :)

Thanks for stopping by and now I'm home again, I look forward to creating and sharing again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BROCADE CARVING

So, honestly, can you stand any more carved stamps? I made this card to show the brocade motif I carved recently. It's clear embossed on the white background and lightly stamped (stamped off) by the sentiment. It goes rather well with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder.

Here it is, attached to the acrylic and a fully inked sample beside it. I love it!

I hope you may be encouraged to give eraser carving a try.

Enjoy your day and thanks for looking.

CARVED STAMP PIZZAZZ

My plain carved eraser stamps become something quite different with colour, don't they? I'm really liking the geometric shapes so I think some square designs should be next on the carving block.

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

MORE ERASER CARVING

I'm still working with sharp instruments and erasers, and have the band-aids to prove it! Two little stabs which taught me to pay closer attention. These look rather plain at the moment but I hope to make great use of them on cards or scrapbook pages. Maybe for Colour Q this week?

Time will tell.

Remember to work safely, play safely too. Have a great day!

WE'RE BACK & ERASER CARVING

Hi! We are back from our beautiful Caribbean Cruise vacation. It was wonderful! If you ever can-go. You won't be sorry. I know there've been some incidents lately but do your homework, use a reputable service and go.

In life, stuff happens.

Before we left, I carved an eraser. I hadn't done this for a few years and thoroughly enjoyed doing it again. The first picture is the carved eraser stamp and the second shows what I made with it.

There is a small piece of double-sided tape holding the eraser to the block. You can use these stamps without a block but I had one so why not? :)

It was a few days before Valentine's Day and I wanted to make it to give DH on the Tuesday. I couldn't share it before we left as he reads my blog- isn't that great?! Anyway, it was fun and there will be more carved stamps in the near future. There are tutorials all over online if you want to give it a try. Just use Mr. Google.

DH drew the two winners for the pendants I was giving away for the 2nd anniversary of my blog. They are Donna, and Deana. Congratulations!

We're happy to be home and I'm revved to create so I hope to have some shares for you real soon.

Have a wonderful day!
