Scor-Pal Grid Card - Just Like Mel's

Hi Everyone! Whoohoo! Check out my first Scor-Pal grid card! I saw Mel's card of Mel Stampz and I just had to make one. . . just like hers. I thought her card was sooooooo pretty that it inspired me to try this technique out. I've seen other people do this technique but I have never been really motivated to make one until I saw Mel's card the other day.

Anyway, here is Mel's card: Click here. I actually "CASED" her card. . .I mean not exactly but the overall design is similar. I didn't use markers on my card and I didn't distress mine. Instead I added micro beads to the center. I'll try the marker technique on my next grid card. This is my first time with this technique so I wasn't very ambitious.


I really love Mel's style. . .there's a subtle look to her cards that makes her cards look very elegant. My cards have a tendency to be intrusive. . .almost crying out for attention! LOL! I usually or typically head in the direction of being overly bold. . .especially in the colors and design. I try to be subtle but arghhhh, I can't stop myself sometimes.

This time I held myself back and I am so satisfied with how my card turned out. It's bold but not intrusive or glaringly loud, KWIM? LOL!

Anyway. . .go check out Mel's site. . .she has a ton of links on the grid technique as well as her own tutorial.

I think I'll make another one. . .making this card was just, oh so fun!!
