MAY WBW

The May Wood Block Wednesday  ! 

It's been a while since I last played along.  A couple of weeks ago,  I stopped in joann's one last time before they closed forever. There wasn't too much, but one thing I picked up was this pretty feather stamp from American Crafts. 


I used it along with a Stamplorations clear stamp set.

 Hello! It's time for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party for Spring! 

I hope to get a few made and linked up, but .... we'll see! As of today, I made this card last night. 


The stamp set is from Picket Fence Studios.

Double stitched rounded corner die is Gina Marie Designs.

I inked the sky with oxide inks and splattered with Dr. PH Martin's for snow. The card base was inked with Lisa Horton Cloud 9 ink onto an already purple cardstock base, so it turned out darker purple and soooo shiny! Which is what I was hoping for, so I'm relieved that worked out. 😁
