From cake slice to wood planks for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is a Photo Inspiration Challenge. Thanks Michele for a great hop theme. 

I have created a 'wood panel' inspired card using a CAKE stamp! Let me explain how I did it, but first lets check out the inspiration pic below for what lead me to this crazy idea. 

Here's the challenge picture as set out by Michele. I'm loving ALL the colours and the vertical wood planks in browns in grey tones. 

Now lets take a closer look at my card. I knew I wanted wood panels and little or no flowers but how to achieve lookalike wood without an obvious stamp or designer paper? The answer came in the form of a cake slice .. from Cake Fancy. Stamped in all the colours - Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Gray Granite - I love it! 

Finished with the postcard stamp and sentiment from Stamped With Love and a pretty bow in the new ribbon and colour Basic Beige!

For the inside some simple stamping with the new Online Exclusive  - Elements of Text (my new favourite background images) the teeny leaf image is from Cake Fancy

I love using stamps in a new and different way - I think its my special skill! Its fun. 

What other images can you see in these sets?
