Here today with another customer request...which I can totally relate to! She wanted a card using Wood grain that somehow looked like, well....wood! LOL! We have a wood burning stove and it heats our entire house during the winter! So, I thought why not use the wood pile for some inspiration and make a log and put in on a card! (It's OK to laugh....it sounds strange to me too...now that I actually typed it out!)
So here is my log....card...:)
I used the "letter press" technique here again. I used Burnt Umber palette and rubbed it all over the Wood grain IP! Ran it through the Big Shot and gave it the "chopped" look! Then I used TH's distress inks to give it a more dried, aged look! Kinda' woodsy, kinda' homespun, kinda' unique I think! OH and Ted....here is another of my favorite 3-color-combo, combos! ;) Love brown, ivory and red!
Glad you came by today! You will have to tell me what you think! Hope your Thanksgiving day was great! (I am still stuffed!)
