NZSU DSP Challenge / Card in a Frame

I thought it was about time to make another framed project the Established Elegance card I blogged at the beginning of July is one of my favorite vintage cards and thought it would be perfect to frame. The only difference from the card is the scallop circle  First Edition designer Paper is cut smaller than the one on my card but apart from that everything is the same.

Faux Tile

Faux Tile is a technique I have wanted to try for a while, for this card I have used 3 of the stamps from French Foliage. To get the Faux Tile effect score your lines evenly across your piece of cardstock then turn 90 degrees and score again. Scoring has never been easier than now with the Stampin' Up Simply Scored Tool also available are the metric Scoring plate and Diagonal scoring plate.
