Today I decided to do a non-Christmasy card and show a wonderful technique we learned at Stamp Club this month. I'll post the Stamp club projects tomorrow, but today I wanted to try it myself in a Vintage vibe card. I'm using the new Nature Walk stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Mini starting January 4! So here's a step by step of the Mosaic Tile technique:
 |
| Step 1: Use your left over rubber scraps after assembling a stamp set, and cut into little pieces. |
 |
| Step 2: Adhere the pieces to a cheap clear block, making a mosaic pattern. |
 |
| Step 3: Stamp your image (works best with black) then colour in with markers or... |
 |
| or colour with Blender Pens and ink...here I used Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Marina Mist |
 |
| Step 4: Take your Mosaic Stamp and ink it up with Versa Mark, stamp over your image trying not to get a 'crack' over an important part of the image (for example the birds face here) |
 |
| Step 5: Dust your image with Clear Embossing Powder, flick off excess. |
 |
| Step 6: Heat Tool it til the powder melts... |
 |
| Then you'll get this Mosaic look once melted... |
 |
| Step 7: Take your Basic Black ink pad and put directly on the image completely coating all the cracks. |
 |
| Step8: Wipe of excess black ink with papertowel |
 |
| Once all the ink is wiped off the embossed parts you'll see the 'Mosaic tiles' |
 |
| And there ya go!! So pretty! |
