Totally Techniques Blog Hop - Stamping with acrylic blocks

Hi everyone,

Have you enjoyed the sunshine this past week?  It's been so nice to see the spring here for a while and we snuck in a few days away to see Charlie at Uni and also house hunt for Liv as she starts a new job down south very soon.  A lovely break if only short. 

My share tonight is this month's Totally Techniques International Demonstrator Blog Hop and we've got some fab ideas for you using acrylic blocks to stamp with and create a design.  

For my card I used this technique very simply by using different size stamping blocks and shades of blue to create an abstract pattern on my die cut tag and then just added a touch of gold by embossing some flowers and colouring them in with white pigment ink.  The gently watered down ink sunk into the blues underneath allowing the stamped shapes to softly still show.  I also added some ink splattering using the same ink and a water brush.

An embossed background layer adds texture and I added another tag for more detail along with gathered ribbon and a die cut sentiment.  I love the gold top lettering on the navy background layer for the thanks created using the Amazing Thanks dies.

how to do it

To stamp with the blocks just tap tap tap the block on your ink pad and use a spritzer to lightly spray over the inked block with water before using it like any other stamp. Create using a large block to add a background for a stamped image on top or use smaller blocks like me to create your own pattern and then add sentiment and possibly stamped images.  You can also stamp without spritzing for a slightly different finish.  The possibilities are endless as you will see on the hop.

Great paper on the tag and wonderful layout and die cuts. I love the font on the thank you sentiment.
