Hi everyone. This month we are playing with Acrylic Block Stamping. This technique has been around for a long time, but it is making a comeback with a slight difference (doodling). If you have any acrylic blocks and ink, you can create beautiful backgrounds for your cards. We have videos below that show us how this technique can be creative, fun, and relaxing all at the same time. :) We hope you'll give it a try.

Supplies:
- Acrylic blocks
- Water Soluable Colour mediums (dye inks, distress inks, distress oxide inks, watercolour paints, re-inkers, powdered inks, etc.)
- Water mister
- Water-friendly card (watercolour, mixed media, bristol, etc.)
- Optional: permanent markers for doodling
Technique Instructions:
- Press colour onto your acrylic block. You can use one colour or several colours
- Mist with water and quickly turn over and place on card
- Hold in place for a few seconds so the paper starts absorbing the ink and then remove the block. You can angle the block to play with the distribution of ink for your design
- Optional: Once your card is dry from acrylic block stamping, use a permanent pen (black used in examples by Jo Rice) to doodle around the border of your block design, or to create a pattern for the inside. Have fun!
- Complete card as desired.
These instructions are listed on the sidebar by technique for easy reference.
