I wanted to make a background that looked like wood planks for this page.
I stamped the woodgrain stamp across the 5.75" square piece of creamy caramel, then cut each woodgrain at 1" strips, with the last strip being 3/4" wide. Cut each strip at varying interval lengths and make sure to keep each piece in order after cutting. Sponge each piece with mustard and then vanilla pigment ink, with chocolate ink used around the edges. Then glue all the pieces down on a darker colored CS base.

* CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: chocolate chip, creamy caramel, vanilla cream
