TIPsy Tuesday - Easy Wood Grain


Wood grain has been a big trend in scrapbooking.  There are a lot of chipboard letters out there in woodgrain looks.  I stumbled across this easy way to get a wood grain with undressed chipboard:

Thin dark brown paint slightly - not too thin or your chipboard will warp.  Brush onto plain chipboard with a somewhat rough paintbrush - one that has been used a lot.  You'll get a nice grainy look.


Old paintbrushes - that's another way scrapbooking let's you repurpose stuff!



One quick project notes:
  • The cork is leftover from my tumbled tile coaster projects.  It's just shelf liner from Lowes Hardware.
My goal for this layout was to use some of my older stash.  I think everything on this layout except the ink is at least 2 or 3 years old.  Thanks for stopping by!

Ingredients:  Stamps:  Polka Dot Punches, Office Accruement by SU!
Ink:  Soft Suede
DSP:  My Mind's Eye
Embellishments:  Oriental Trading
Chipboard:  Unknown source (I've had it a very long time.)
