Cherish Christmas

Recently Connie posted a project using the Mosaic Tile technique and it really inspired me. This is the sixth card I have made and am really addicted. This week I have used the technique on the ching-chou kuik's Cherish Christmas image from one of the most recent plates.


For starters I stamped the image and colored it with Copics, this image for some reason is pretty daunting to me when it comes to coloring....anyway after wards I picked out my mat, cut it .5" larger the the image and began cutting it up and gluing it down.

After I have the pieces arranged, I then take Diamond Glaze and give each piece a light coating and allow the image to dry overnight (well actually I touch it, first, in the middle of a piece, it sticks to my finger and I have to add some more glaze, sigh).

Then the image is ready for the card! Hope you enjoy it!
