Here is my DT card...

I used Robyn's Fetish, Cabin in the woods

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!!!
