 Good luck to you from the DT crew at Top Tip Tuesday!

Here is my DT card...
TIP: Scoring, folding, and spacing the wood embossed strips of CS,makes for a nice log cabin illusion.







I added 3D dimension dots to several images for more depth


Log Cabin Tutorial:

What you'll need to make the wood grain
Cover CS with the lightest color of your choice;
I've used Close to Cocoa here
 Daub with a darker color here in random sections
 Cut strips of 1 1/2" 
 Flip strips over and score at either the same spot for an even look or random measurements for a varied size appearance

 Add adhesive to the folds

 Place the strip to your CS base and run a pencil underneath to get the rounded lumber look
 Finished project
Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!!!
