Hi everyone. Back with another card for the LOVEFEST2014 Challenges at SCS - Challenge G - add scoring - hosted by Scor-Pal. I use my Scor-Pal for every card I make for the fold of the card base ... but today I added some extra scoring to frame these sweet images from Lawn Fawn. Aren't they cute??!! :) They bring a smile to my face. I colored them with Copics for a simple, flat card (easy for mailing!). All the images (including the sentiment) are from the one stamp set - love it! I added a little detailing with my white gel pen and just the tiniest bit of sparkle on the middle bird's pompom. :)
I'm also adding this card in four other challenges (count 'em ... four!!). This will be my second entry to the current challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More - #83 - holiday. As well, I'm entering it into Sparkle's Creations Christmas Challenge #13 - Anything Goes, Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #165 - add a sentiment, and to the current challenge at CAS(E) this sketch! #65 - sketch by Sam Simpson.
Here's how I made the scored frame, but there may be an easier way as it's not something that I have done very much. I turned the card to the back side and placed it in my cutter (just for measuring). I placed it at the 3/4 " mark and then took my pencil and drew along the guide (where it would have cut if I was using a cutter). I did that for all four sides to create a rectangle on the back of the card. Then I place it on my Scor-Pal and scored along the pencil lines. When I flipped it over, I had this nice rectangular, scored frame. :)
