My challenge to you today is a technique one.

It's all about SCORING!!!

Here are your quidelines:

1. Create a layout/card using Core'dinations Colorcore cardstock that incorporates THREE different types of scored lines/designs. *

2. Also create ONE embellishment that involves scoring.

3. Post your submission(s) at the bottom of this post using the link tool.

*Hints: There's a variety of ways that you can use scored lines (such as straight lines, diagonal lines, faux stitching, etc.). Embellishments can include tags that have been scored around the edges, accordian style flowers, etc... And remember you ALWAYS score on the backside of the cardstock (the non-textured side).

Also, ... when you are scoring you don't have to have a scoring board to make scored lines. You can also do this simply by running a stylus tool (or scoring tool/bone folder) up & down the cutting channel of your paper trimmer.

Here's a look at the layout I created for this challenge.

Supplies used: Core'dinations (Tim Holtz Kraft Core, Sand It Gadget, Dust Buddy); heart punch (McGill), Imaginisce (i-rock tool and Glam Rocks); My Little Shoebox (alpha stickers); flower & heart shape punches (Fiskars); Border punch ( bracket - Ek Success)

I scored a border around the background cardstock; then created a block design with different scored lines on each piece of cardstock. Some were just straight up & down, other lines were diagonal and some were 'stitched'.

I also created embellishment by punching out some flower shapes and then scoring lines across the flower from point to point.

I then punched out some small stars and again scored lines from point to point all the way around the star shape. I gently folded the stars to give them some dimension and depth and adhered them with foam squares.

I love using the Tim Holtz Kraft Core because the colors are so rich & warm. Another fabulous way to use this cardstock is to flip it over to the kraft color side and print your journaling on it as I did on my layout. Because the base of the colored cardstock is kraft colored the journaling block matches perfectly!

So how would you like to win a pack of Tim Holtz Kraft Core Cardstock??!!!
