Faux Wood...

Envelope & Inside...
I love how easy this card come together.  The technique is fantastic & very easy to complete.  Makes for a great male card - we all have trouble with creating them sometimes.

This will be one of the cards we are going to create in our next technique class - details below - "Faux Wood".....

I've used colours that are not normally used in the everyday wood you see around the place, as I wanted to try someting different & to see if I could create a completely different look.  To lift the colours a little, I decided to add a little bit of Real Red.  I'm glad I did, as it brough the whole card alive, including the background.

I want the card to be for a male, but instead of for the traditional stamps, eg cars, trees, etc, I thought "why not a Rosette?"  Who says these can't be for the males?  I'm really happy with the final result, but would love to hear what you think.
