Woodgrain Landscapes by Judi Kauffman for The Queen’s Ink

Woodgrain paper is always fun to use as intended - as planks of wood, but if you use your eye as if they’re attached to a zoom lens on a camera you can find some interesting little landscapes within the grain. My Artist Trading Cards incorporate 2” square scraps that look like hillsides or paths. One of them even has a knot in the woodgrain that evokes sunshine.

Using my new Mary Engelbreit stamps from RubberMoon I stamped a little girl happily running along with her ice cream cone, accompanied by woodland creatures. A bit of coloring with pencils, markers and a fine nib pen, plus some Tim Holtz stickers (phrases cut into pieces) finish the ATCs.

Options:
  • Customize the little girl by changing her skin tone and hair.
  • Skip the stickers and stamp, machine-generate, or hand-write a message.
  • Change the ice cream to strawberry or chocolate!
  • Include kittens or ducks instead of, or in addition to, the bunnies.
SUPPLIES:
  • Rubber stamps by Mary Engelbreit (RubberMoon)
  • Ink in dark teal or other dark color
  • Markers and colored pencils of choice
  • Pigma Micron pen in Black (01)
  • Gelly Roll pen in White (10)
  • Stickers by Tim Holtz (ideaology)
