I have been saving up another Live tutorial with Gina K Designs for you guys that I think you are going to L-O-V-E!! It features a technique she calls CARVED WOOD BACKGROUND.
In the video below, she makes a couple of cards. It is fun to watch the whole thing but it is long. You can watch the first part where she does the technique and skip the card making if you don't have a lot of time to watch.
For her technique, she uses a stencil, but I used an embossing folder and it worked great too. Other than a stencil or embossing folder, you will need white cardstock,a "wood color" ink pad and possibly a blender brush. That is all! Let me warn you though, this may be highly addictive. I have been pouring through my stencils and embossing folders to see what I could use for more backgrounds haha!
I hope you have fun! I can't wait to see what you create!
I was only thinking recently about this....so happy to see it as a challenge. On my list. Thank you. Happy day

Thanks for introducing me to this background technique, Lyn. Really is a great one. Had fun with it. Most challenging part was finding something to put on it! : )
Grinning, I have a couple of pieces ready to make up because I had been contemplating this for a TLC. The first video I found was an older one where GinaK used only embossing folders. Then I realised that Melody had described something different in her upload, so I found the one you linked. Work and housework today, but I'll get one of them made up into a card this evening or tomorrow. Thanks, Lyn.

I loved this, but had to revert to and EF, because no matter what I could not get an impression from a stencil! Someone tell me what sandwich for a Big Shot? please.
Here is mine: Snow Much Fun
I still ilked the result!
Thank you Lyn!
And, because I was experimenting when I made the background piece, I sponged both sides to see which I preferred. I remembered to take a photo of the other side before I stuck it onto the card front.
I had time to create, and made this fun card using the colors for the color challenge this week. I will be doing this again using different colors! Cool effect!

I'm late to the game but that's not unusual for me (sigh). However, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to try this challenge out! Oh my... it is a good one! Here's my take on it:
