Textured Wood Grain Background with Stencilled Glitter Paste

Start with white cardstock and select the wood grain stamp from the set.

Ink the stamp with brown ink, using craft-tone colouring for a monochromatic look.

Add touches of mahogany ink to some areas of the stamp for depth and variation.

Spray the inked stamp with water to soften the colours and create a natural texture.

Press the stamp firmly onto your cardstock.

Once dry, place the stamped piece on the eureka platform and drag an ink pad across it on its side to add extra texture and dimension.

Add a touch of blue ink to enhance the driftwood effect.

Select the 7x7 stencil from the set and position it over a corner of your background.

Using a palette knife, apply glitter paste through the stencil, starting with a small amount.

Carefully lift the stencil away to reveal the stencilled design.

Allow the glitter paste to dry (approximately five minutes) or heat set it with a heat gun for speed.

Mount the finished background onto a coloured card base to complete the card.
