so crafting is somewhat limited today and I cannot finish my intended project - hopefully tomorrow all will be back in place!
It's time for a tidy up, not to mention having to hoover out the drawers for bits of sawdust!
In the meantime I thought I show you a card that I did recently for EIDT that features getting more use from your scoreboard ......
How's this for a nice dress! Stamped in black and embossed then colours with various green distress inks.
My lady making a grand entrance down a panelled staircase.
The rolled back effect was achieved by first making a diagonal cut plus an extra 1.1/2" to the front of the card. Then with the right side facing upmost, I scored several lines very close together, leaving a wider section near the edge unscored. This looks wrong because the embossed lines are on the wrong side, but it is actually right! On the first score line, turn back the lines and make a good crease. Next I added a foam strip for padding (the depth of this depends on the effect you want to achieve) along the lines and on the unscored section added double sided tape. Stick the lined panel down. I was aiming for this to appear as a bannister, so to complete I added more lines and some stamped and embossed swirls.
Hope this makes sense, if not shout!!!!! I think I might do a tutorial base card when I have my desk back, but until then enjoy your day and thanks for dropping by.
By the way my draw for a scoreboard is still open - check it out in the post immediately below.
