Inspired by Loll - CASE 8 - wood grain technique

Hello friends,
I am glad you took out time to visit my little crafty place. As some of you  might know that I am doing a CASE series of Loll Thompson's work, this CASE has an amazing technique called the wood grain technique. The technique is inspired by a very talented crafter, Karen D from Snippets. She has a step by step tutorial for this technique, which is super cool and fun. Linking her post here.  The card that I am CASEing is this, though it's more of the technique CASEing.




I went ahead and as explained in Karen's blog , I made this wood grain panel, and I loved it! As I didn't want to cut it, I used the whole panel (with a little trimming) for my card. Now I think I should have used browns, but while making I felt, all brown might not look great.

I used a Catherine Pooler stamp for the encouraging sentiment from the You did it stamp set. And rest is some masculine themed pattern paper and a speech bubble die cut. I hope you like my attempt and would give this technique a try too. I am on a mission to increase my masculine cards, so this card makes me happy!

  2. Ishani this is a wonderful example of wood grain - for this sort of technique you use what you have on hand - as long as the colours are 'woodish' !! I replied to your question on my blog on your previous post.
