Get a Grid!

Hello all! Yesterday’s SCS technique lovers challenge was to make a grid on our cards.   This is a simple  technique, and you can use your Scor-Pal or just a ruler and any scoring tool.  You will find a great tutorial HERE.

I went shopping on the weekend!!  My local scrapbook store recently moved to a new (bigger) location, so i just had to check it out!   They have lots of yummy paper, accessories, ribbons, and tools, but best of all they have a good selection of My Favorite Things Stamps and a great selection of Bella Stamps!   Of course i had to buy at least one Bella (tyler the jock) and I found a fabulous package of 17 SandyLion stamps!  They’re an assortment of the cutest little animals with stitch lines around their edges like the charming bird that I used  on this card.

I made a grid background using my Scor-Pal, then stamped over it in versamark with my Floral backgrounder stamp.  This technique is a great way to add texture and dimension to a card.

The main image is colored with a blender pen and my aqua promarkers, and Ranger distress ink.
The sentiment is stamped using the DIY JustRite monogram stamp wood block.  I am loving this monogram set!
