Squirrel MIX434 - Knock Knock

Challenge Title: Knock Knock
Hostess: UnderstandBlue (Lydia)
Keyword: MIX434

View the gallery here

Ready for a new Mix-Ability challenge? Our goal is to make mixed media easy, approachable and FUN! We want to convince you that no matter what your style is - you can DO it!
Love knock knock jokes? Do you knock on wood? Wood you like to try something new? This week's challenge is for you!

Today's challenge - Use any woodgrain technique from the tutorials sections with 2+ mediums, or create your own wood-themed project! I build a wood floor for my frog using this tutorial, but not adding the checkerboard. We also have this adorable tutorial featuring a wood stage.

My recommendations are:

Faux Wood Frame Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
Faux Barn Board Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

and even

Painted Wood Burning Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers - which is naturally mixed media!

Also encouraged - use a wood veneer in your mixed media project!
Guitar Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

I'm attaching wood samples I've made using direct to paper, wood veneers, paint pouring on wood slices, etc. for inspiration!

Fun challenge. Barnboard is a bit hit and miss for me, but I might give it another try. I love Dina's stage tutorial, I featured that for a TLC last year maybe.

I'll probably pass on the barnboard today - had to go to the library (open again, yay), and as tomorrow is busy with family and next week busy in work, I need to get ahead with some stuff today.
But I used some faux wood laminate from my stash.
