I really love this month’s 12 tags of 2016 by the mix master Tim Holtz! I confess that I was slightly intimidated by the mosaic kit at first, but now I am hooked!
I made a tag earlier this month, but in homage to Tim’s remixing, I mixed it up slightly by die cutthing the leaf into the woodgrain cardstock, under-mounting the mosaic this time.
I die cut a leaf from a #10 manila tag and cut a piece of chipboard just slightly larger than the leaf. I used the manila tag like a stencil and scraped the grout from the mosaic kit through the stencil with a palette knife.
I die cut a layered leaf into the woodgrain cardstock which I altered using the technique on Tim’s blog.
I completed the mosaic using paper scraps. It’s like doing a jigsaw puzzle. I love this bit the best!
Once dry, I adhered the woodgrain cardstock over the mosaic chipboard.
I added some small talk stickers, a vial label and remnant rubs and then double mounted onto metallic kraft core and black cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by, you can see all the techniques for this months tag on Tim’s blog.
Love this card Zoe, brilliant idea to undermount the mosaic, it looks wonderful! Deb xo
Gorgeous take on number 2. I LOVE the leaf!!!
That is probably the most clever way to use the technique I have seen so far – definitely one to try! x
