Technique Swap Share--Faux Wood Frame

Every month is like Christmas. I get wonderful cards from gals all over the states I have never met (but hope to meet some day)! Today's share is a card from Loydean Wood.

To create the focal point of this card:

• Apply 3 different shades of brown starting with the lightest shade onto a square piece of card stock.
• Streak the card stock creating a wood grain and then go over it with Whisper White Craft Ink.
• Punch the center out to create a frame with a square punch.
• Emboss the card stock with the Stripes Embossing Folder and Big Shot.
• Miter cut the corners. (Cut the corners on an angle.)
• Distress the edges of the pieces.
• Arrange them back into a frame and draw in some nail spots. 

I love the rustic simplicity of the card.
