for an upcoming wedding, newlyweds will be going to Maine!
had to use 2 of the substitute colors for this challenge, watercolored image with inks. gotta love that dry brush wheel for making faux wood! used all 3 colors, drew lines and nails.
thought it kind of looked like a cottage wall maybe overlooking the ocean....and they lived happily ever after!

Love this card. I tried to do some boards like yours awhile back . I couldn't do it. Now I have to order the dry brush wheel.(Or move to Ohio and borrow it)! Thanks for your good inspiration, Dawn.

Oh my gosh, I thought the wood board image was background paper until I read your description. That's amazing!!! What a perfect, thoughtful card for these newlyweds. TFS!

I love your picture. Thank you for putting it on the computer and I think that picture is very nice. (My DS is looking at the gallery with me and I'm writing the comments he wants to make on the pictures he likes.
