I
just had to try one more of these Mosaic Madness cards before I had to
give the set back. I have seen lots of cards around Pinterest using
this set where they punch out a couple of the shapes and have another
stamped image on the inside. It's actually a bit tricky doing this as
obviously the punch only goes in so far and you can't punch out anything
from the sides, top and bottom only. Then before all that you have to
emboss the white card stock, but try to get it perfectly even on both
the top and bottom and also the sides. Didn't realise that until I had
already embossed the cardstock and sent everything back.
But
after all that, I really like this card. It's made with Island Indigo
and Daffodil Delight and looks good together. The shapes have all been
punched out to save the hassle of using the stamp positioner to line
them all up perfectly, but for some reason the Daffodil shapes seem to
look higher up than the others, not that that's a bad thing. And did
you like the button? I rolled a little of the clay over the top of an
ink pad to colour it as I didn't have any re-inker to use.
If you end up making any of the flowers or buttons with the clay moulds, the tip about popping the mold in the freezer for a while before taking the clay out really works well.
This looks stunning Cheryl. I have admired this sort of card in the catalogue and it looks fiddly but very effective. Button looks great too. Congratulations.
