For this month’s Technique Tuesday Blog Hop, I am creating backgrounds with the scoring board.

Instructions

  • Fold the card base along the score line.
  • Stick the Evening Evergreen mat to the card base.
  • Stick the DSP to the top portion of the card base leaving an even border on the top and sides.
  • Cut a 1cm/ 3/8″ strip from the long edge of the Basic White card.
  • Using the score board (or trimmer) with the long side across the top, score the card at 1/2″ intervals..
  • Turn the card over so the raised score lines are uppermost and sponge some Smoky Slate over the top with a sponge dauber. Sponge the edges of the strip of white too.
  • Stick the scored panel to the bottom of the card front and then add the “shelf” with mini dimensionals.
  • Fussy cut a selection of plants/pots from the DSP. I had to trim some of the plants down to fit the space. Stick the centre plant direct to the card base and use dimensionals on the other two. Add a few Cinnamon Cider In Color Square gems to decorate the pot.
  • Stamp the sentiment onto a strip of Basic White in Cinnamon Cider ink and back with Cinnamon Cider card. Stick to the card base with dimensionals.
  • Glue the Basic White insert in place on the inside of the card.
This faux wood panelling has been created by scoring the card and then sponging it with ink.
