Simon Monday Challenge - Favorite Technique

Here is Simon Monday Challenge - Favorite Technique, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:

One of my favorite techniques is to use Simon Says Stamp's white woodgrain cardstock to make the hardwood floor background. I blended Distress Oxide inks - Weathered Wood, Frayed Burlap, Gathered Twigs, and Ground Espresso on the white woodgrain cardstock. Then I lightly applied a coat of white acrylic paint on top of the blended Distress Oxide inks. Let it dry completely. Then I used Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink with some water and flicked it on the background with a watercolor brush. I cut the woodgrain paper into stripes and arranged them on the background to make the hardwood floor background. I die cut the layered hearts with three different blue cardstock and attached a stamped "thank you" in the middle of the heart. Below is another look of the card:
