Score Lines (MIM #244)...


This challenge is a simple technique I've used before, but it's always good to revisit. Laurie Willison hosts this week's Make It Monday #244: Score Lines, where she shows us how adding just a few or many score lines can enhance your project.

For my card, I pulled out Painted Petals again. I love this stamp set! On white cardstock, I scored four 1/4" lines at the bottom. I stamped the leaves in Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse inks. The flower is die-cut in white cardstock and stamped in Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Lemon Tart and Smokey Shadow inks and on foam tape for dimension.

To fill in the card a bit, I stamped additional flowers and leaves. I placed the panel on a Lovely Lady cardstock card base, leaving some of the card base showing on the right. That seems to be my favorite way for cards right now! lol

To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment slightly above the top score line and added glitter to the large flower. Just a simple couple of lines adds a little extra to the card, don't you agree?

  17. Beautiful, Lainey! We chose the same flower. It was my first time using it and I was a little intimidated by how to use its shape. You rocked it big time! Love this.
