This is Trend week over at Just Us Girls! Cheryl is hosting, and she has chosen the Trend of Wood Grain. So, the challenge this week is to use wood grain on your card.
I was walking through JoAnn Fabrics and came across a display of DCWV stencils. This wood grain stencil was on the top, and I couldn't resist. I used Dap Fast 'N Final Lightweight Spackling mixed with some ground up gray chalk as my paste. It worked beautifully and left a wonderful texture on the card. (I bought an 8 oz. container for about $2 at Walmart). The focal image is a gorgeous digi image from Power Poppy. When I saw the beautiful Geraniums, I had to have it. I colored them with Copic markers. I fussy cut the flowers and leaves and mounted them on a Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Window Template die cut. I added a light purple ribbon and bow. The sentiment is on the inside of the card. It reads - Earth Laughs in Flowers - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Please stop by the Just Us Girls page to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Rebekka, have come up with this week. I hope you will be inspired and want to try this fun trend of wood grain. We would love to see your creations.
