ScorPal & VLVS! - Day Two

Welcome to a week full of inspiration!

and

 

All week we'll be teaming up with the folks @ Scor-Pal and using their amazing scoring tool in conjunction with Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps!

--Leave comments all week long to be entered to win! Scor-Pal has an original Scor-Pal to give away PLUS a lb o' rubber! And we've got a ScorEnvi plus a lb o' rubber!--

Up first today we have AMY LASSITER:

"I created this layout, after wanting to be able to use all the lines on the Scor-pal's board to make a hashed type of grid. I took a piece of 7 Dots paper, and scored it both horizontally and vertically, on the flip side, to create embossed lines. I didn't use each indicated line, but just chose randomly. After flipping over the paper, I ran a sponge lightly over the raised lines, using tuxedo black Momento ink, and then a blend of white and brown inks, for a very subtle gradient.

After inking the lines, I used the cracked background, and grunge1787 writing background stamps, as well as various paints and wet inks to create the background. After adding my photos, I embellished using UmWowStudio chipboard,flowers, bits and bobs. To create my flying pig, I used the butterfly wings and of course, the ever so cute pig peering stamps, to create the finishing touches on my "When Pigs Fly!" layout."

And second is SUSAN M. BROWN:

What does one do on a rainy day??? Play with dolls! Susan has been stamping and scoring up rooms for her neices' dolls. She's scored Kromecote cardstock and vellum hand doodled with Sakura Souffle® 3-D Opaque Ink pens, with this adorable bath tub stamp #5508... just to start!
