A Little Bit Larger

I wanted to try my hand at carving a slightly larger stamp.  I took a 4x6 carving block and gave it a go:

At first I was nervous thinking that I should have shaved away the pink part of the drawing instead of the black part of the drawing, but I'm pleased with the finished result. 

I also used a different carving block than I'm used to and it was a very different experience.  Usually I use the white Speedball Speedy-Cut blocks.  This time I used the pink Speedball Speedy-Carve block.  The Speedy-Carve block says that it's guaranteed not to crumble.  I have had a problem with some of my Speedy-Cut stamps crumbling on the really detailed edges, especially when I clean them.  The Speedy-Carve block was definitely firmer.  It was harder to make accidental nicks, which I liked.

I'd like to try doing an even more detailed image next time and I think the Speedy-Carve block is the way to go!

Thanks for stopping by!
