And I can't think of doing much...
it's too darn hot to go outside...
and too 'sticky' inside...
oh well...
Today I have a challenge entry card for
"Score Lines"
I learned this technique a few months ago
from the Stampin' Up rep in my area..
she does a monthly card class and a tools and techniques class
Oh how I love them so much ...
we have a blast... just a few ladies getting together each month with these fun projects...
so anyway she taught this 'Faux Tile' Technique
and I thought it was just perfect for this challenge
You take your card stock and score it every inch or half inch (like I did here)
in 1 direction then turn your card stock 90 degrees and score the same lines that direction...
its best if you use a score board like I have the Martha Stewart score board and LOVE IT...
then after you have the 'grout' lines you then stamp your image over them...
I like to sponge the edges to make it 'pop'...
then I used a different card stock to stamp the sentiment...
I added some designer paper to the corners then the faux title over that...
added a little bow and there you have my card for today...
I hope you find this post helpful ...
I hope it's good enough to win this weeks challenge...lol....
If you should have any questions about this technique just leave me a comment,
I will try to answer your questions...heehee
Happy Crafting Everyone
Have a wonderful work week to come...

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Ive tried over and over to score lines and then stamp so it looks like tile but it always goes into the score lines no matter how deep I make them. How and the heck do you do that???? Your card is so amazing and I have that stamp so I wanna try. Thanks for joining us this week at Speedy fox and friends!
