This card was created for Ben a friend who we met when we Dick and I were new Christians and were working with him as a part of Youth For Christ. He is retiring from the Ministry; He has been a Pastor in the United Methodist Church for many years. He has been a fisherman all his life so I thought this card would be perfect. I printed out the fish from a chip art site, added some antiquing and embossing gave it a coat of Glossy Accents. I had never tried the Wood grain technique however I found it was pretty easy and fun. Give it a try at GinaK Designs here’s a link to the video tutorial if you are not familiar with this technique.
