Our Technique Tuesday for April included this fun technique - Faux Tile or Grid Pattern. These are easy, and add such a great dimension to your creations
Here's the card we made
Stamp Sets: Netting (122655, page 122); Field Flowers (122760 W, 122762, page 78); Thoughts and Prayers (113252 W, 127805, page 54)
Card Stock: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Embellishment: Soft Suede 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon (122967 page 173)
Big Shot: Honeycomb Embossing Folder (129378, page 6 Spring Catalog)
Tools: Stampin' Up Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334, page 181)
To make the "Grid" or "Faux Tile", line up your card stock on the Simply Scored Scoring tool. Score every 1/2" (or 1" your preference) either diagonally or on the square. Turn the card stock 90% and score again.
Next ink up a background stamp and stamp over the grid. Don't press too hard, because you want your ink on the raised part and not into the "grout"
Add whatever stamps and sentiments you want and then finish your card.
I'll share some more samples tomorrow!
