SOS552: Wood is Good

It's time for the new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and this time we'd like to see cards and projects which feature woodgrain patterned paper, wood-look stamps, or wooden embellies. Because, this fortnight, Wood is Good!

I don't think I've ever been in the same room as woodgrain patterned paper and not bought some. I have every color, every style, every variation you can think of. This card uses two of them: a chippy-peely blue-painted background (from Crafter's Companion) and a more subtle tannish brown that I diecut into a frame (from Simple Stories). I also probably own ten different woodgrain washi tapes, and I was tempted to use ALL of them, but settled for just one dark brown, somewhat translucent strip, running vertically behind my focal grouping, under a few wraps of natural twine. The grouping consists of a 1964 Porsche illustration, set atop a vintage map of London, framed by the aforementioned tan woodgrain Nestabilities label shape, over a Tim Holtz Picture Wheel, layered onto another vintage map of London. 

There are more Good (and inspiring) Wood-centric projects from the SOS Crew over at Shopping Our Stash, so be sure to check those out! SOS552: Wood is Good runs until the evening of Monday, July 28th.
