Wooo loves you?

This card took so much longer than I originally intended, but I really like the outcome.  Specially since I am going to give it to my husband's grandfather and his wife.  The grandfather is was a carpenter so the woodgrain touches will be perfect for him.  I created the wood planks with my scorepal, creamy caramel, brown and white craft ink.  I think splitcoaststampers has a tutorial for it.  I also created the frame for my image by "mitering" the corners of the top and bottom strips of paper.  And lastly, I made the "rickrack" strips with a tutorial I found on Pinterest.  You use a scalloped punch, flip the paper over and punch again with the scallops lined up opposite the first punching.

    Love the little elements that make this card to so personalised, such as the wise old owls and the woodgrain look. I am sure it will be very appreciated as it is made with love. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week.
