So I had made a red faux wood when someone was asking about barn wood techniques. I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red and Cherry Cobbler direct to the white paper then I used the Distressed Texturz plate to emboss a wood grain onto that and sponged over the top of that with Early Espresso. I used a marker to add some vertical lines like boards. I had distressed the mini Coke playing card by crumpling, sanding and sponging and had made a very plain card that I wasn't very fond of. When I saw today's sketch challenge sketch, I decided to try to adapt what I had started to work along with the sketch. I peeled off a coffee sleeve and tore it for my 2nd panel. I took off the twine I had used previously and added a denim strip. I thought of these metal pieces that I've had in my stash forever and added that with a piece of distressed Espresso behind it. Finally, I decided to add some greens to go along with the country, barn feel to the card. I die cut these and used a stylus to add some veins then sponged them.
