Smash Your Stash Journal Challenge

 Morning and last Saturday of the month means Smash Your Stash journal challenge with Vicki of Stamped Smiles. Hope you will check out her block as she makes amazing journal pages and cards, the prompt this month is "Wood"

Not happy with this at all-the idea worked perfectly in my head !!! The wooden board effect background I made embossing every inch then dragging a couple of green and brown ink pads down the card, I then swiped the ink pad down the die-cut gate and quite liked the distress effect just didn't transfer well in the photo-trust me looks a lot better effect in real life lol-the gate didn't stretch across so cut two pieces of stone effect paper for the side, the butterflies and little Ladybirds are wooden, a couple of die cut leaves behind the gate -the shaped Crafters Companion paper was found in oddments bag and I though it would look like the end of a shed ???
