I’ve had the distress mosaic kit for a while but hadn’t taken the plunge before now because of an irrational fear of uneven shapes. I’m a Tetris wizard, but disordered shapes make me want to straighten stuff… Okay, let’s underplay the craziness. 😉

Once I got started I was cutting my paper scraps at the weirdest angles! Figuring out how to fit them together was so fun, like a disordered jigsaw puzzle.

I removed most of the distress ink from the butterfly as I LOVE the exposed grout. Who knew white could be so grungy?! I’m hooked!

The technique that Tim uses on the new woodgrain cardstock is AH-MAZING! It’s SO simple and SO effective. See the technique here

I used the new lady rose stamp set! I stamped, fussy cut and watercoloured with distress markers.

    Oh, I really like this tag. The butterfly with mosaic wings and the arrow for the body – very appealing. You also make the background look easy. And then fussy cutting the roses – that’s quite a feat.
