And although I kept it pretty close to the original, I added Woodgrain Embossing on the base of the card, I didn't have cork so I used cardstock stamped with Woodgrain Background stamp, the leaves I chose have a bit of a bend and is fuller, and I popped them up instead of flat on the panel. I have to say....LOVE this card and what a GREAT masculine card! Thanks for the inspiration Loll!!!

Mary, I knew immediately which card you had cased from Loll's gallery. I loved her card and I certainly do love yours too. I like how the wood grain looks in place of the cork. As Mr. Welk would say.................wonderful, wonderful!!

How clever to use the wood grain texture for the embossing and also the brown wood grain panel on your card.
