I made this card for my Dad using scraps of wood that my DH trimmed off of an oak plank during our renovations at our previous house. I simply cut the wood strips into lengths using scissors, glued them to the card front using double sided tape, added "nails" with a brown Sharpie marker and to add a bit more texture stamped them with a crackle looking background. I added several strips of suede looking trim between the "boards". I had previously embossed the card front using the SU wood grain embossing folder and used the same texture stamp around its edges. I watercoloured the image then trimmed it close and adhered it to the card front uisng 3D foam tape. I do not know who makes this image as it was received in a swap many years ago. I like the way all these elements came together!! My Dad used to be a carpenter so I really like adding wood to his cards.
