Tuesday Morning Sketches #785

 Hello! Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Please leave a comment, say hello.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's another great one by Debbie.

My card features items from the Timeless Tidings Collection from Tonic Studios and a really cool technique I woke up to.  More on that in a minute.  Let's look at the card first.

I used the paper from the 8x8 paper pad, a piece of ephemera from the Toppers and the Mistletoe Showers embossing folder. 

Now the technique I woke up to.  I have a habit of watching YouTube and falling asleep in my chair.  So I woke up to a video by GinaK where she was showing how to create this wood technique.  It starts off with taking a card stock panel and scoring lines - I did 1/2" intervals.  Then using an ink pad and "scraping" edge to edge to create streaking.  I used Tea Stain and just a little Peacock Feathers.  Then with the backside of the folder embossed the image.  So on the debossed side I used Walnut Stain and repeated the streaking.  This is the coolest looking panel!

I added just a bit of paper to finish off the card.

Here's a close up.  So cool!!  Meet me over at the TMS blog to play along!
