Scor-pal Sympathy

What a busy time! I thought it would slow down after the fall craft fair season but life has just been stuck in high gear! Don't get me wrong - not complaining - just need to figure out how to get my blog updated more regularly. :) I was out of town all this week at a conference and ended up working all last week-end on a big project at work so couldn't pre-schedule posts. So, please forgive me and stick with me as I will figure out a plan and get back to posting more regularly. :)

So, now, on to the important stuff... The scor-pal lets you make the most wonderful background designs, especially on white-core paper. Score on the diagonal and then take an emery board or a sanding block and go over the raised part of the score lines - fabulous! I think it's the perfect background for this sympathy card and it carries a big "wow" without a lot of work. And, don't you like the accent holes created by the crop-a-dile (or you could use any hole-punch). simple but neat!
Card supplies: Scor-pal, DCVW cardstock, White ultrasmooth cardstock, Black cardstock, TAC Gerbera Daisy, Crop-a-dile

Happy Stamping!

Seleise, this is stunning. The criss cross with the scorpal is so effective.

Hear you about how fast life is going, just need to figure out how to keep up with it all!

Take care,
Marcia
