www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I cut each of the rectangles of dsp on the diagonal into triangles. You need about 6 triangles for this card. Choose card stock where the colours work well together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Each triangle was glued onto the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a tiny border between each piece. The excess was trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I placed the dsp panel on the trimmer with the short side at the top and cut it down into ⅜” strips. The strips were then mixed up and glued onto the smaller Basic Black panel, again leaving a tiny gap between the strips. Cut off the excess and use these pieces to fill in the last couple of rows.

The whole piece was then glued to the larger Basic Black panel. I wrapped a strip of Black, Organdy Glittered Ribbon around the panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape, The whole piece was the added to the Pale Papaya card base with liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I punched out a Basic Black tag, cut it in half and added it to the back of the sentiment with a little showing top and bottom. The tag was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut some leaves from scrap Basic Black card using the Bloom Dies and tucked them behind the tag. A trio of Black Matte Dots completed the card.
