Faux Wood Grain with Dawn. Visit my website for more stamped projects DawnStampingThoughts
Hi stampers! Today I am going to show you how to make this faux wood grain background. I am using the Ahoy Matey stamp set for my card and also the designer label punch, the 1 ¼” circle punch and the 1” circle punch and then, for my boat I just used my dauber and I applied some Creamy Caramel around the edges. But I am going to show you how to make this background here, so let us get started.
Here is anther one I did, that is just the background, all right, so what you are going to start with is your More Mustard cardstock and you are going to use four color ink pads. You are going to use More Mustard, Close to Coco, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White Kraft ink. These three are just the classic ink and this one is going to be the crafting, so first you are going to take you More Mustard classic ink and you are going to flip the ink pad over and you are going to do the dirt to paper technique. And what you are going to do is you are just going to drag that ink pad across your cardstock and you are going have to hold that cardstock and place or it is going to move, when you drag your inkpad across that. You can do however you want, light as you want, I am using the More Mustard first. And then I am going to use the Close to Coco classic ink, same thing, I am going to drag that across my cardstock. Okay and then the Chocolate Chip same thing. And then the last step is taking your Kraft White ink pad and doing the same thing as you did previously and I am just going to drag this across my cardstock.
Okay, now you are going to take a ruler and your black marker and I like to space them about 3 ¼” an inch apart for the wood planks. I am going to use the little bit whiter tip, I am actually using the Stampin Right journaling marker and that is also double ended but I a using the whiter tip, end. Okay, so I am just going to make my planks here with the black marker and I am just going to position this ruler so it is about 3/5” of an inch apart. You can actually free hand this too if you want, kind of give it more of a realistic wood plank look I guess.
Okay, so when you get you lines drawn I am just going to go ahead and free hand the actual planks and after you do that, then you can just go back and add you nail holes, pretty easy. That is it. Here is the finished one again.
All right stampers, thank you for stopping by, we will see you later. Bye!
