OWH’s Tuesday Tutorial was how to make a wood grain background using an ink pad. It was actually very easy and I like how it came out. I think next time I will try using a lighter color ink.

This week’s Flutter By Wednesday challenge is a sketch. I can never turn down a sketch, and this one is so pretty and fun. I also added in the ribbon/brad technique that Sandy from OWH showed on the Stars and Stamps blog last week.

Both are so pretty, Kristie. I especially love the take on the FBW sketch. Great colors and such a cool treatment with the ribbon. Thanks for playing along at Flutterby Wednesdays.
Very cool!! Isn't that turtle so cute?? I love your go at the wood grain technique! I have a feeling that I'm going to be using this trick a lot! I love how yours turned out. That second card is a very cool layout, too!!
