Welcome
I so appreciate you came to see what I have been up to.
I made this card a couple months ago for my husband when we celebrated our 38th Anniversary.
He loved the simplicity of it and the wood background.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of white cardstock and I rubbed different colours of Distress Oxide inks directly onto the paper, spraying with water and blending as I added more and more colour.
- When I was happy with the inking, I embossed the inked panel using the Tim Holtz Lumber embossing folder. This folder is amazing and gives deep woodgrain impressions on your paper.
- I rubbed some Black Soot DOX ink randomly over the top to highlight the grain of the wood, then set it aside to dry completely.
- I stamped the heart from Studio G onto a piece of black cardstock with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it.
- Using a red Copic Marker, I coloured in the heart and then added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze over the heart to help make it pop.
- I glued the woodgrain panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a black card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Like Faith, I thought the background was printed paper. Should’ve known better with your talent! Super anniversary card - many congrats x
Simple but beautiful Karen and your woodgrain is so realistic using the inks and the embossing folder, and love the heart in the circle coordinating with the red and black background layers. A great card for your hubby on your anniversary and hope you had a lovely celebration. x
