Technique Thursday - Reverse Grid AKA Faux Tile

Materials:
Trimmer with Scoring blade
Dye Ink (contrast with background)
Cardstock
Dye Ink for Stamp
Stamps

Directions:

1. Working on the long side of the cardstock, align the edge of the cardstock with the 1/2" mark. Score marks can be made at 1" or 3/4" intervals if desired.
2. Move the paper over so that the scored line is aligned with the 1/2" mark and score cardstock again.
3. Continue scoring the cardstock at 1/2" intervals.
4. Turn cardstock to work on the short side. Make 1/2" scores along the length of the cardstock.
5. Turn cardstock over so the raised score lines are face-down.
6. Stamp image on the raised tile side of the cardstock. Mat and embellish a desired.

This is the tile portion of the card. I used Cool Caribbean for the card, Cranberry Crisp for the middle layer and Very Vanilla for the top layer. I used Cool Caribbean ink on Floral Background on the Very Vanilla.

I then added cranberry ribbon, stamped Heartfelt Thanks in Cool Caribbean and 2-step stamped with Cranberry Crisp on Very Vanilla, layered on Cranberry Crisp, tied the ribbon and WAHLAH!
