Woodgrain Embossing Folder

Yes I can spell.

I’m feeling ‘challenged’ today as I prepare for my Card Buffet this weekend.

I took a few minutes for myself to create a card and play around with a couple of card challenges.

The first is from Match the Sketch Challenge blog. A very nice layout. See –

The other is a fun color combination from Create with Connie and Mary –

Both are quite nice starting points and had nice sample inspiration pieces on their blogs.

I played around in my head the direction I wanted to go in. I love the In Color Envelope Paper that has come out. It’s very inexpensive and can be used as DSP as well as envelopes and whatever else you think up!

Here, I used the wood grain pattern, two patterns per pack, and I cut strips and flipped it for a different look –

I purposely spaced them just far enough apart so you ‘wood’ see the two pieces here.Black just barely peeking through.

The Woodgrain Embossing Folder adds just a bit of dimension to this card. It all tied it together. ‘Wood’ you agree?

I like this reverse pattern for my background. Adds a bit of interest.

‘Wood’ you mind leaving a comment? That’d be nice.

Ok, guess I’ll get back to getting ready for my Card Buffet. If you follow me on Facebook, libbystamps, you can see more of my creations.
