Faux Wood Grain video ...

Hi Stampers:

 For todays card I  used  the AHOY MATEY stamp set  along with the  designer label punch , 1 3/8" circle punch & 1 1/4 " circle punch .   go  grab your  More mustard cardstock  and your ink pads ( listed below ) and  lets make this background together .

The  layer  with  the Ship is 

Whisper White  ( 2 1/4 X 3") 

More Mustard ( 2 1/2" X  3 1/4")

The  Faux wood Grain background I used :

More Mustard  card stock

More Mustard classic ink ,

Close to cocoa Classic ink

Chocolate chip classic ink

 along with  White Craft ink

 A Ruler , Black maker

Enjoy

Until later... Have a Stampin Good Time!!

Question : Will this  previous ink transfer to the  white craft ink ? Answer: NO ~ Just be sure you are using the classic ink pads   for the More Mustard , Close to cooca & chocolate chip. HTH :-)

What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you Dawn! What does it do to the white craft ink pad? Does it discolor it? Just wondering..this faux plank background would work for most fall cards...thanks again.

Also, my five year old really did watch your video tutorial more than once because he was fascinated how your paper turned to wood!

Oh my word, that really does look easy. I teach a stamp group from the church at my home once a month, and I may teach them that in a few months. Thanks for the wonderful and easy inspiration :)

Hi Dawn we luvvvvvvvvvv your site. I get so many good ideas from you. My 9 year old dd and I tried this technique today. So easy.

That's great I need to try this... must place an order for more mustard cardstock haha... another excuse to order

I believe many grasses are stronger sequesterers of carbon than trees anyway. All the more reason to stop chopping down forests in the first place I guess.

i think we also need to take into account that the new farmer needs to heat his house somehow, and if he's not burning wood, he is likely using fossil fuels of some sort to do the heating... so i would say burn the wood.
