So finally my last Hop of the year!! For this card I stamped the wood grain
pattern on to a piece of champagne cardstock with Saddle ink. I love the
look of wood grain, but cannot always find the papers that I like. This stamp

was a background stamp from StampinUP that I really liked.

Here are some great links for more stamping ideas for you:
