For each blog hop, we get a free digi image from JessicaLynnOriginals. But I also fell in love with this spring release from Jessica and had to snap it up to make a card for a guy. He will love the sentiments on it.
I digitally colored this image. After printing, I added quite a bit of additional color with color pencils to create the effect of "wood" planks.
I also used Stampin' Up dark brown cardstock for the card base and a striped paper which had no identifying label. Various bakers' twine in matching colors added the finishing touch.
I placed the card on a piece of "woodgrain" paper for my photo. I'm wondering if that is a distraction from the actual card.
This one I'm entering in

Love your card, Helene! Great colors, too. Thanks for joining us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
Simply a great card for a guy. Love the digi images and how you've coloured them digitally and with pencils. I remember that striped paper from several years back and it was so versatile and a good choice for masculine cards and projects. Thanks so much for joining us for our Masculine Anything Goes WWC111 Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
