I recently found myself in the position of having the perfect coloured card stock, but without a pattern it looked too plain. I thought of adding some embossing or a splash of ink, but instead, I grabbed a pen and began drawing vertical lines spaced about 1/4" apart. I wasn't after perfectly straight lines, so I didn't bother with a ruler, instead using the marks on a cutting mat to give me a rough guide. Once my first set of lines was in place, I turned the card stock 90 degrees and repeated the process.
Cool idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspired way to add interest to a background without overwhelming the rest of the card

ReplyDeleteGreat and easy way to do a background...tfs
ReplyDeleteGreat tip, Beccy! I hadn't thought of drawing. FANTASTIC IDEA to create custom cardstock. On pattern paper, I often use colored pencils or copics to add certain colors so my image will coordinate with the patter paper! xx
