Pile It On! Challenge - Wood

It's time for a new challenge over at Pile It On! and this week the theme is:

'Wood'

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/
Prize: a $12 Gift Certificate!

I've used a new stamp on my card...it's a woodgrain background stamp from a set of two by Tim Holtz/Stamper's Anonymous that I picked up in TKMaxx earlier this week from the Clearance section...for the bargainous price of £3.99! I stamped it in three colours of Distress Inks (Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves & Mowed Lawn) on to white card, then blended the same ink lightly over the top...and around the edges of the three panels. I cut hearts using my Cuttlebug 'Concentric Hearts' die from some offcuts, and mounted then on to the panels using 3D foam pads. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Sentiments' set by Hero Arts.


Here are the challenges I've piled on:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Pile It On! Challenge.

    Thanks Helen, for sharing your project delightful CAS card in the “Any Sentiment” Challenge! The repetition of the wood grain panels & the hearts which are then strongly individualized with the vibrant colors is quite creative! Nicely done!
