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.
What an inspired way to add interest to a background without overwhelming the rest of the card
Stay safe

Hi Beccy this is such a good idea. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Great idea and thanks for sharing this x
Great and easy way to do a background...tfs
Great 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
Fantastic idea, thank you for sharing, this I'll have to give a try, hugs, Lori m
