EMBOSS WITH YOUR SCOREBOARD

SCOREBOARD EMBOSSED CARD

You might have to look extra hard to see the detail on this card (or click on the image to enlarge it), but hopefully you'll take my word that it is a simple, elegant white on white embossed card.

The base card is a PL1 textured white simglefold card from Regal Craft Cards. I've used my scoreboard to add two lines to make a frame to a piece of backing card.  A third panel, which has also been decorated with variously spaced and angled lines created with a scoreboard, was then mounted on the top with foam tape underneath to a little height.

The decoration is subtle but much more visible in reality.  Embossing is usually clearer on light coloured card, as there is a more pronounced contrast between light and shade.

You might have noticed that I've just added three little rhinestones to the bottom left side of the backing card, which draws attention to the pattern, and the card as a whole.

If you have some small pieces of card and a scoreboard, spend some time playing with lined embossing - it will never replicate a highly decorative embossing folder but it can go into corners where folders can't reach and you can create patterns that are truly individual.
