Wooden heart

There is a lovely challenge at Merry Monday this week. Woodgrain, Kraft and white. 

                                     

Here is my card:


I used kraft card and dragged a Latte ink pad over it to create the wood grain. Then I used a stamp I've never used before to make the heart shaped hanger. It's not the kind of stamp I usually use but it looks good here embossed in white. (Which I managed without too much mess!) 
I cut it out bigger than the stamp and folded the edges back to give it more dimension, using a ball tool to encourage it. I glued a couple of layers of scraps behind it too to make it a little thicker. I think it will still be flat enough to go in the post. 
Then I left it well alone. No more time today anyway, as the sun was shining and it was WARM so I had to be outside.
Thanks for visiting. x

  2. Hi Alison, What a beautiful card this is. The heart stamp is so pretty and looks lovely embossed in white. I love the way you've put the raffia on the top and the woodgrain background effect looks fantastic. Barbxx

  8. This is so lovely and perfect for the challenge. Love that you made your own woodgrain...looks so realistic. The embossed heart fairly pops off the card thanks to your clever manipulation of it.
