12 Tags of 2016 – April Take 2

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!

iGirlZoe: 12 Tags of 2016 AprilI 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.

    That is probably the most clever way to use the technique I have seen so far – definitely one to try! x
