More Scor-pal Patterned Paper

Here are a couple more cards using the scor-pal to create my own patterned paper. See original post here for details.

For the patterned paper on both cards I used the Fontwerks Signature Flowers set again. The first card uses antique linen and worn lipstick Distress Inks. The sentiment is from Inque Boutique's Quotopia set. It is stamped in brushed corduroy Distress Ink on vanilla cardstock and the edges are sponged with antique linen. The card base is Kraft and the flower is from Prima.

The second card uses only worn lipstick Distress Ink. The quote stamp is also from the Inque Boutique Quotopia set.

Make your own patterned paper

When I saw Nichole Heady's sneak peak of her new Guide Lines set I pulled out my Scor-pal and came up with my own version. I knew the Signature Flowers set from Fontwerks that I had would be perfect for this.

Using my Scor-pal and plain white cardstock I scored the cardstock every half inch in one direction, turned it 90 degrees and scored every half inch again creating a grid.




Next I stamped one of the square patterns with tattered rose Distress Ink using my scored lines as a guide.

After I stamped the entire sheet with the square I inked up one of the circle stamps using antique linen Distress Ink and stamped that in the center of each remaining square.

For my card, I sponged the edges with more antique linen Distress Ink and matted it with some pink cardstock from my LSS. The pansy stamp is from Rubbernecker Stamp Company and stamped in tattered rose Distress Ink. I added a little shabby shutters reinker to the flower stems and leaves and some tattered rose to the flowers. I also stamped a second flower and cut out just the center one and mounted it with pop-dots for some dimension.

Take a look at your stamps and see what you have that might be perfect for this technique. I know I'll be getting a lot more use out of this set now using this idea. Thanks for stopping by!

Working on my mojo

I made this card for Julee's Mojo Monday challenge. I started with a 5 1/4 in base of purely pomegranate and then cut 4 squares of pink and 4 squares of black. The pink squares are 2 3/8 and the black squares are 2 1/4. I stamped signature flowers from fontwerks in white craft ink on the black squares and added pink chalk with a cottonball to the flowers (don't you think they look like snowflakes). The center pink square is 2 3/4 inches and stamped with the line of dots from paper trey's faux ribbon set and a sentiment from papertrey's holiday wishes set. I used palette noir black ink to stamp them. The snowflakes are a marvy uchida punch. I punched two from black and one from the light pink and stacked them together using popdots for some dimension. The center has a rhinestone brad from Creative Keepsakes and the edges are dotted with scribbles 3D paint in iridescent plum luster. I added some ribbon around the center to finish it off.
