For one of our new challenges over at Just Us Girls we are using TRENDS. For our trend challenge this week, Cheryl choose - Woodgrain. This look really is making a come back, it was pretty hot a couple of years ago, and has been showing itself recently again in blogland. We are on it!
I used turquoise card stock, scored it and made my own woodgrain look using white pigment ink and brown, streaking it down the panel. I used my MFT Thank You die-namic and layered it 4 times for the added depth. I also used Hero Arts, Antique Flowers and Butterflies.
You don't have to make your own wood grain, I just did for fun. Pop over to Just Us Girls #249 to see the array of samples the Team has made using this week's trend. We sure hope to see you play along!
Thanks for stopping by~
