It's time for another Sweet n Sassy Stamps Instagram Hop and this month the theme is "Splash into Summer."
My card features the new Seashell Greetings stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and a weathered wood style background.
If you'd like to enter the drawing for a $25 gift card to SnSS - visit my Instagram page and click on this card for more info. Click here to shop the entire June Release.
Here's how I created my weathered wood background:
~ Cut a piece of cardboard to size (mine was 5.5" x 4.25") and score lines every 1/2 inch
~ Paint over your cardboard with white school glue
~ While the glue is still tacky to touch, paint over it with your choice of acrylic paint
~ Dry with a heat gun
~ Re-score your lines
~ Using sandpaper, lightly sand off the paint in spots and rough up the edges

So beautiful, Esther, and I love your details on how to weather the "wood" look - brilliant! I can't wait to try this! Your cool blues are the perfect summer night - glorious! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
Absolutely stunning card, Esther! I love the effect you got by coloring onto cardboard. I just happen to have the perfect pieces sitting on my desk right now! I might have to give this a go soon. Thank you for playing with us at the MMM Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
