Grid Technique

	Soft Rubber Brayer	Kromekote Gloss Card
	Sponges - I like the sponge daubers as they give a finer finish and allow for more control	Scrap paper to create grid
	Dye inks in assorted colours - I like Ancient Page inks. This project uses Ancient page - Saffron, Bordeaux, Plum wine, Kaliedacolour - Royal splendour and Vintage inks in Magnolia.	Stamps that suit your theme, for this card: Collections - face, column (Venetia) and pear, Lucy's Stamps column and key and NonSequitur key, column top, text and passion.

	Brayer white gloss card with Saffron ink, stamp face in central location on card in Coal ink and let dry (around 2 hours).
	Measure 1cm around face on each side and sponge on Bordeaux and Plum Wine inks. To get an even line, work on one edge at a time by placing a scrap of paper on a parallel line with the face at the 1cm margin previously measured.
	Sponge on one colour at a time along this paper line and along each edge. Repeat for the other edges, keep scrap paper parallel to face image.
	Stamp images in each grid square (created by the sponging) make sure that excess ink is removed for background images.
	Let dry. Edge with gold Krylon pen and mount onto black card.

	Make sure to let the gloss ink dry before stamping onto it.
	Let the whole finished card dry for 2 days before mounting as the gloss ink can subtly change colour when drying, if mounted too soon the backing card may not match the grid stamped layer.
