I know! I know! It's most certainly not CAS but I made my own wood background this morning and I am so proud of it! I covered the choc chip card with embossing paste, and created lines and marks with the spatula. Dried with a heat gun, then rubbed lightly with sand paper. Added streaks of Walnut stain and Peeled Paint - dried again. I distressed the edges before securing to the card front. Die Cut the wreath and popped up with foam pads, die cut the poinsettias and shaped. Computer generated the words and sponged the card while still in the die. Popped up with 3 layers of foam pads in the centre. Am I forgiven ....
TFL today

Oh my goodness, you've worked magic on that wood panel ~ it looks absolutely real! The vivid red flowers and green foliage just "pop" against it. Outstanding.

You are completely forgiven!!! Oh my goodness Sandie this is a real jaw dropper (thank goodness for Favs of the Week). I have seen real wood that doesn't look as real as this. Wow you must be tickled pink!!!
