Brick Wall

Create a unique look for your main image by cutting it apart and adhering it in brick form.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Stamp image in black ink on patterned paper.

   

2. Step 2

   Stamp again, slightly beside the first image in Versamark ink to add some depth.
   
   Pour black embossing powder over the image and heat emboss. Allow to cool.
   
   Hint:
   If your paper is thin, you can glue it to a piece of cardstock for stability.

   

3. Step 3

   Use a ruler and pencil to draw horizontal lines every 1/2".

   

4. Step 4

   Draw vertical lines every 1" between the horizontal lines, offsetting them 1/2" every other line to create your bricks.
   

   

5. When all the lines are drawn it looks like this.

   

6. Step 5

   Cut along your horizontal lines and place them in order.

   

7. Step 6

   Begin from the bottom and cut the first strip of paper along the vertical line.
   
   Adhere the bricks one by one, placing them on the cardstock with small spaces between to build a wall of bricks.

   

8. Step 7

   Finish your card.
