I have used a technique today, called grid technique, and it is simply scoring lines in you cardstock.
I like to score the lines first, either on an angle/bias or at right angles, both give a different look. In the Christmas card I have then stamped the SU! background Linen in River Rock and sponged the edges. You can of course stamp an image on your cardstock first before scoring and then stamp another image after to show up the score lines.
There is a lot you can do with this simple technique, and I thought I would show another card I made a little while ago that I may have posted, but it shows the grid at right angles. Once again I have stamped the image after just so the score lines are highlighted, but here I could have stamped the image and then scored, and highlighted the grid by sponging extra colour on.





What an interesting effect the scored lines give the finished products. Both cards are lovely.
