This week begins a new challenge month so that means we have a new challenge hostess which is Dawn Lusk. I am sure she has some wonderful challenges lined up for us. To start our month of Dawn has given us a technique challenge .... most of us enjoy technique challenge! This month's technique is the modern grid technique.
If you haven’t tried this technique before it is pretty easy to do, here's how:
- Stamp your image or images randomly over your card
- Now take a ruler and black marker and draw lines equally spaced vertically and horizontally. Make sure you stop your line when you get to the stamped image and then start again on the other side of the image.
- Add dots or doodles to some of the squares. You can also color in some squares if you desire. You could also add smaller image stamps that suit the theme or words too. You can see what I mean about other images and words by one I did when I first learnt this technique here.
OK now it i s time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.

Well, that's a new technique to me! I'll have to think about what stamps will work - just as well to have these inspiring samples. Love the gloss on Cindy M's, and the way Cindy H's looks like glazed tiles - and Charlene's is making me want to go and cut a slice from what's left of DH's birthday cake.
This realy looks like a fun *trick*, (mothermark word) Love Cimdy M's glazed squares,Tosh's Season Greetings card,Frances pencils,Cindy H's flowers,Dawn's darling boy and tree,and Charlene's treat card is really yummy. Fantastic job ladies...Think I'll give it a try today.
Fabulous cards - ladies!!! This technique looks very neat!!! Hmmmm - I might try it this week?!?
Hugs ~S~
I haven't ever tried this TRICK. I am going to have to give it a try.
Well, this went in totally a different direction to what I planned this morning. I was going to do something with a peacock, because my mother used to have a lovely tiled ceramic peacock tray. I arrived early to a tea-party instead - http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1404844?cat=785. I'll definitely be trying this technique again - thanks, Dawn, for introducing it to me.
