Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - #468-#469

Here is Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - #468-#469, below is the challenged word art:

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 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 wreath on silver glitter cardstock and I silver embossed "miss you" on the dark brown cardstock. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp, MFT, glitter cardstock

Ink Pads: Distress Oxide inks, Versamark
