We had such a great time with this card, and I loved it so much, I thought I would submit it to Stampin' Up! for the WoW! Art File contest. wish me luck, we find out by mid May if it will be in the July issue!

WOW! Art file May 2009

Supplies:
Friends 24-7 set; Lovely Lilac, Old Olive, Very Vanilla Card Stock; Lovely Lilac Classic Stampin’ Pad; VersaMark Pad; Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Old Olive ¼ Gross Grain Ribbon; Sticky Strip, SNAIL Adhesive.

Tools:
Stampin’ Up! Paper Cutter,( using Bone Folder to make score lines); Heat Tool, Powder Pals,

Faux Tile Technique:
Take 3 ¾ x3 3 ¾ square Very Vanilla Card Stock,
Place Diagonally on the groove of the Paper Cutter, use Bone Folder to obtain a nice deep score line, reposition card stock on the 1” mark and the 2” mark. Do the same to the other side of the center score line. Turn and repeat steps. Stamp Image lightly so that you do not stamp inside the score lines. Ink Card Stock with the VersaMark Pad, sprinkle with Clear Emboss Powder, using the Heat Tool to set the Clear Emboss Powder.
Tip: Use Sticky Strip to secure the embossed Card Stock, it will prevent the ends from pulling away from the card.
