Faux Wood Birthday Wishes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Holly Brown aka hbrown...congrats, Holly!  I chose this awesome masculine card to recreate using the following items from Our Daily Bread designs: 'Living Water' stamp set, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies, and the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.  Instead of the crumpled background technique, I used the Faux Wood technique to create the background panel....started with mustard cardstock and swiped two different brown ink pads directly across the cardstock.  I also loved the interesting ribbon treatment of Holly's card, so I was happy to give it a try; I used a small circle punch at first for the ribbon slots, but the ribbon wouldn't cooperate, so I punched around the circles with a small square punch.  This will be a birthday card for my boss next week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings!
