House Mouse Challenge #61 Faux Grid


This week the House Mouse Challenge is to create a faux grid on your project. I had never heard of this technique so I started by doing a search on Splitcoast Stampers for examples (click here to see the samples). I found that they can vary greatly. I just ran with it and this is what I came up with. This stamp is "Cherries Jubilee". I used Paper Glaze on the jar of cherries but it just refuses to be photographed! The little cherry stamps I used for embellishment are Magnolia, the little dots are Martha Stewart. I am really happy with how it turned out! I hope you find some inspiration and will join us on this challenge!
