Oh do I love my “Simply Scored Scoring Tool” and oh do I love all the different uses. I am going to prove that to you today by showing you a background I created for my card by using this great tool. I used a piece of “Whisper White Cardstock” and created a brick wall:
Here’s what you need:
- Simply Scored Scoring Tool
- Whisper White Cardstock measuring 5.5″ x 4.25″
Step 1:
Place your cardstock piece on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool so that the longest side rests vertically as shown. Using your Simply Scored Stylus, score vertically at each 1/2″ mark:
Step 2:
Turn your cardstock piece 180 degrees and score between the first two scored rows created in Step 1 at each 1″ mark (1″, 2″, 3″, etc).
Continue to the 2nd row and this time start at the 1/2″ mark and move over 1″ (1/2″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, etc).
Keep scoring each individual row by alternating the starting point until your cardstock piece is completed:
I then used my “Paper Snips” and cut portions of the bricks completely out to resemble missing bricks. I then trimmed my cardstock piece to measure 5 1/4″ x 4″. My next step was to use “Sponge Daubers” and sponge “Early Espresso Ink” along all of the outside edges. I also smudged some on the front. I then added “Cajun Craze” here and there to add more color. For my final step I sprayed the cardstock piece with “Log Cabin Smooch Spritz” to give it some splatters.
The flower is created with the “Blossom Petals Punch”. It only took 9 petals, curling all the ends with a “Bone Folder” and then gluing them to a “Stampin’ Dimensional” sitting in the center. Add a “Designer Button” tied with “Baker’s Twine” and glued in place with “Mini Glue Dots”!
