Today's TSC challenge was to use the faux wood technique and use red and brown and one other color. My one other color was going to be blue, but I was struggling with these colors so much I had actually put it aside, when I found that green was also acceptable. So that was my break! I so needed some green!
I used the faux wood techniuqe from GinaK Talk TV and made this panel. I also punched an SU! oval out of it for my "hanging basket". I used Bazzill Textured Red for the base and EK Success dp for the swirly effect of the background. I added MS punched lattice edging, greenery and butterfly. I used a CB die cut for the scroll and the little flowers. The bigger flowers are a SU! Punch. I added bling and stickles and used a CB edge folder for the "with Love" sentiment. I used 10 lb hemp for the hanging basket.
This image is a RAK from sweet Pat. Thanks so much Pat! I just adore it!
While these are definitely NOT my colors... they are way too bold for me, I think the idea was cute and I'm reasonable happy with the card.

Great job Grace. Good to see you back in the challenges. I love the hanging basket. He looks so relaxed. Hope he doesn't spill his bubbles on the wood floor. Super faux wood.
