Today I cut some foam evergreen trees inspired by a chain of trees I cut last summer. I like the organic unevenness of the branches.
I cut 3 different sizes with the hope that they would work together to create some cards. They were easy to draw and cut with little scissors.
Then I test printed the relief blocks on some paper with speedball block printing ink, gold, yellow, green, brown and blue.
I added a star to the top of the tree and the Hope stamp below and then a few dark blue dots. I may not use all the trees together but I do like how the littlest tree with the medium tree as shown above.
I think I will have some fun playing with these stamps.
Have you tried this method of printmaking without a press? Go for it!
