Masked Mosaics
Masked Mosaics

Instructions:
Mat and layer Elegant Mosaics Collection paper sheets 2B and 9B edged in Night Sky and Vivid Chartreuse onto a C6 card blank (4 1/8 x 5 7/8”).
Onto masking paper stamp with StayzOn Jet Black 3 times Elegant Mosaics. Use the co-ordinating dies to cut the outer die with the smaller dies (photos on my blog).
A stamping platform will keep the stamp in the correct position. Cut white cardstock approximately 4 1/2 x 4 1/2” and press into the corner of the stamping platform (ensure the cardstock stays in this position).
Lay the Elegant Mosaic stamp rubber down centrally onto the cardstock and pick up with the platform lid. Lay the die-cut mask onto the face of the rubber with the smallest die-cut opening showing only. Ink up with Sky Blue, remove the mask and stamp.
Add the smallest die-cut mask onto the stamp together with the outer edge mask, ink with Forget Me Not, remove the masks and stamp.
Add the mask over the stamp to leave the outer edge showing, ink up in Night Sky, remove the mask and stamp.
Wipe the cardstock with anti-static and ink up the stamp with versamark stamp and clear heat emboss.
Die-cut the stamped image with the outer edge. Use Nuvo Caribbean Ocean, Crushed Grape, Apple Green and Dandellion Yellow to add coloured dots. Allow to dry and cut off a strip from the Elegant Mosaic die-cut. Adhere to the front of the card.
Repeat to create Elegant Mosaic topper using Nuvo Sweet Lilac and die-cut with Circle Basics Large. Adhere to mat and layer band Elegant Mosaics Collection Paper 2B and 9B edged in Night Sky and Vivid Chartreuse on dots.
