Hello and Happy Monday!
This month's Sweet 'n Sassy release makes it easy to create projects that our guys will treasure so I thought it would be fun to create a background for a masculine card. A Wood grain background was a natural choice to use with the"Mr. Fix-It" Clear Stamp set.
Paint with long strokes using a DRY brush leaving card stock peeping through.
Using two different sized hole punches, punch a few holes in the "wood".
That's it! Easy Peasy!
Here's what you will need to create a simple wood grain background in just a few steps.
I chose a kraft base, white craft paint and vintage photo distress ink for my background but many different looks can be achieved by changing bases, and/or paint colors!
Paint with long strokes using a DRY brush leaving card stock peeping through.
Score lines at random distances, horizontally along the painted layer then sponge distress ink in score lines.
That's it! Easy Peasy!
SO CUTE! A pinner for sure. TFS!
