Today I'm sharing the easiest possible way to quilt this mosaic! Stamp the "Inspiration Mosaic" grid over a light patterned paper, this is from Basic Grey Wassail. Then choose two or three colors from the pattern, here I chose tan and green Copics, and colored in some of my boxes, I love how the delicate pattern shows through, now you have tan and green swatches of a matching print! Card base is a Cranberry to match the patterned paper. I added some 5/8" chocolate grosgrain and frayed the ends after cutting to match the scarf on this popped up "Warm & Cozy Christmas" kid.TIP: The snowflake is a white paper flower, I folded it into quarters like we did in school, snipped out some little squares and triangles, then unfolded it and added a button to the middle to give it a homespun feel. Last I stamped the little circle from my set into the corners and added a drop of Crystal Lacquer on top of each to look like brads.
Hope you enjoyed this holiday card and Mosaic Monday! :)
Beautiful Melanie.

ReplyDeleteVery cute card! Looks really wintry and I'm not sure I'm ready for that just yet! I love all the things you do with the Mosaic. Can't wait to see all the new things coming on October 1st!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a creative idea to make coordinating 'fabrics' using this mosiac! Being from a climate where we have snow 6-7 months of the year, I must comment that snowflakes ALWAYS have 6 points, never more or less. It's more trouble to fold that paper into thirds, but produces the genuine thing!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is SUCH a KEWL idea for one of my very favorite stamps sets! THANX!
ReplyDeletecool paper snowflake-you're so clever
