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.

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!!

Paper: DCWV designer paper, SU Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Speckle White Cardstock

ReplyDeleteHi, Diana Crick here. I love your card, indeed tasteful. When I first saw Mels card I immediately thought of tiny beads instead of french knots (I don't iron or sew) and was thrilled to see you do the micro beads. Your card has exactly the right amount of "bling". Awesome job.
Maria, OMGosh!!! This is awesome & oh so elegant! I have to say this is one of your best cards, I so luv it & the colors are so soft & did I say elegant? Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!! I love the colors-pink, my favorite:) My Scor-Pal just came in the mail & I'm gonna have to try this one out! Love the idea of the beads too. I sew but this is sooo much easier. FANTASTIC JOB, as always.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Wanda
