This week I am showcasing the Faux Tile Technique. Over the next few days, I will show more of the different tiling effects.

Today’s card is scored 1cm (½”) diagonally.

Tips:

• Here are the supplies, measurements and some basic instructions. Check out the video for full details on the technique.
• Supplies:
  • Stamps – Love What You Do
  • Card Stock – Thick Whisper White, Basic Black, Whisper White
  • Ink – Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Sahara Sand
• Measurements:
  • Card Base (Thick Whisper White): 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 10.5cm (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”)
  • Basic Black: 13.8cm x 9.5cm (5¼” x 4″), 9.5cm x 1cm (4″ x ½”)
  • Whisper White: 13.3cm x 9cm (5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″)
• Instructions:
  • Create a grid on the Whisper White layer using a scoring board or the scoring tool on a paper trimmer.
  • Today’s card is scored diagonally at 1cm (½”) on a score board.
  • Stamp images with Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green inks to create a tile look. The images will not stamp in the grid lines.
  • Use Sahara Sand marker to add ‘grout’.
  • Attach tile panel to Basic Black layer and then to front of card base.
  • Add Basic Black strip across the lower part of the card.
• Tips:
  • Some grid sizings:
    • score every 2.5cm (1″) horizontal and vertical
    • score 2cm (1″) then 1cm (½”) horizontal and vertical
    • score every 1cm (½”) diagonally
    • score every 2.5cm (1″) diagonally
• Just a little decoration for the inside and envelope …
