This is my submission for the Vamp Stamp Magazine for the October 2010 issue with the theme of "Your favorite scoring tool". Mine happens to be the Scor-It board. Love it. And in making these cards I realized it has an advantage over the ScorPal. With the ScorPal your lines are formed within a grove, whereas with the Scor-It your lines are formed on top of a stainless steel rule, so you can use it as a support if you want to sand your line down, which is something I did on this card.

I scored and folded a plain white card. Then embossed a piece of silver metallic cardstock using the Crafts Too stars folder, and layered it onto my main card, edge to edge.

I sponged and and also direct to paper, on white cardstock using Distress Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire to get a dark blue and then added touches of Worn Lipstick, misted and dried. Scored all around 1/2" in from the edges and sanded each back to the white core while still on the rule.

Attached, temporarily, my blue piece to a piece of tracing paper, to position a cut out star, which I traced onto the tracing paper. This is my guide for scoring. Also sanded at the same time.

Painted the star with Jo Sonja's Opal Dust - interesting medium, not similar to iridescent medium at all. Let that dry.

Stamped the quote (Quietfire Design) with Perfect Medium and embossed with silver. Tied a couple strands of silver metallic embroidery thread and tied a knot, Also punched a couple nicks on each edge to hold the thread in place. Trimmed the ends short and added a dab of glue to hold the knot. Adhered this layer to the main card on top of the silver metallic stars. Then added a rhinestone star.
