The latest Fusion Card Challenge is titled {Woodgrain Neutral}.
Here is the inspiration photo:
I am (once again) trying to repopulate the sympathy card section in my card basket, and I was fretting about too many florals. Nothing horribly masculine in there. What about a woodgrain sympathy card? I have this beautiful woodgrain paper from Paper-Papers .
So, I inlaid a circle of cherry into birch, and added a sympathy sentiment. Basic. Stunning.
Supplies: Stamp – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Paper-Papers Wood Technology Birch, Cherry, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Spellbinders, embossing powder – Ranger Liquid Platinum.
