Here is my final sketch that I will be using to create my plates for printing!
The rocks and wood will be white with the paper showing through in the gaps. And the old lady will be a very dark green (her backpack will be black.)
If the print works... now I race to get it done tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Good luck 
I really like the stones of the house. Puttin' the page fold down the middle is a good idea, too!
@Braden-Hallett yeah, the line around the outside is the bleed as well. I am planning on putting this in a book dummy so I setting it up so I can print it using blurb and they have a 1/8 inch bleed.
All the things you have to think about if you are really going to print!
The first plate printed... let's hope it is dry enough to print the next plate in an hour or so. I added lots of ink drier and added fans.
Plate 2, had a problem and the GlowForge messed up the plate so I had to recut and got slowed down... hope I make it!
Red is done...

@theprairiefox Damn that looks pretty!You still got time!
@Braden-Hallett Almost there... I am going to get it finished! Only one plate to go.
The last color is done.
I was testing if the green would play nice over the black on the lady but didn't like it so left her all-black. More mysterious that way.
Here is the final scanned... also posted in the contest thread.
Thank you @Braden-Hallett , @Elena-Marengoni , @Rachel-Horne , @JoannaH so much for the feedback.
Always a pleasure to see the block printing illustrations. My new year resolution is to try silkscreen. I will make at least one svs monthly contest in silkscreen next year :-).
@xin-li can't wait to see it!
I am new to all of this (have been doing printmaking for about a year now) and silkscreen is on my list of technics to learn.
I love the looseness and texture that traditional printmaking provides. Such a rich quality...
