Well as you might have guessed I didn't have any wood accents in my stash. I realize it is a great trend with many collections. But I am not a fast fan. I think it because I don't love the "feel" of the tiny wood bits. So when the challenges began, over the weekend...I when to work. I accomplished all the challenges for Studio Calico celebration, but "create with wood and create with typography" challenges were my stumpers.
At first I figured those would be the two I'd skip. Well as you can see, I didn't skip them and here is the wooden one. I began with a vanilla piece of card stock. Decided on an approximate size of paper and design I wanted to work with. I drew the design by hand, which isn't difficult considering the bark of a tree is forgiving and irregular, easily. I drew the design first with pencil and then outlined it with black ink. I then traced that with Super Glossy Accents. Used a heat gun to dry it caused waiting the recommend 30 minutes is not an option. I added a touch of dark ink. Embossed and inked again for the finishing touches.
Waaalllaahh! You have wood accents. Happy Scrapbooking....
Off the subject.....sometimes your man is a dork! Right you know it is true. Mine had this crazy brain fart yesterday. Goes like this: Him: "I tried all day to find this guys number, you know I have been trying for a while now." Me: " Honey, I can't believe that given his business he is not in the phone book?" Husband: " Oh, (long long pause) I never thought to look in the phone book? I only look on the net."
So that is what this world is coming to....not on the net...not to be reached....lost and not found.....
Be creative everyday~L...
