Step 2
Score card stock at even intervals.
Here, the scores were made every 1/2".
Step 3
Turn card stock 90 degrees, line up as before,
and score at every 1/2" again to create a
scored grid.
Step 4
Ink the stamp and stamp on the card stock
side with the indented score lines.
Note:
Here, the background was placed wood-side
down with the card stock over it. To get a
partly stamped image, finger walk over the
paper.

Flip it over
Instead of stamping on the cardstock side that
has the indented score lines, stamp on the side
that has the score lines facing up for a different
look.
Add a Border
Score a small border all around the card stock
before adding a grid inside the score line.
Show it off
Don't stamp over the grid at all, but use it as a
background.
