Sketch Saturday - Mosaic Garden

I made a Slimline card for this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. These are so fun to make.

 
 

Here’s the sketch I used. I was going to cut little squares but I decided to cut strips to lay over the patterned paper to create the square look.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Thick Basic White Card Base - 7-1/2 x 8-1/2, score on the 7-1/2 side at 3-3/4

  • Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper - 3-1/2 x 8-1/4, score every 1/2” both vertically and horizontally. Fold a little bit, this will help you line up the cardstock strips.

  • Strips of Pretty Peacock Cardstock - cut 16 strips at 1/8 x 4 and 6 strips at 1/8 x 9

  • Adhere the short strips across the 3-1/2 side along the score lines.

  • Adhere the long strips across the 8-1/4 side along the score lines.

  • Trim off the pieces that hang over the layer.

  • Wrap a piece of White Textured Ribbon around the layer, adhering it to the back of the layer. Adhere the layer to the card base.

  • Die cut 4th from largest scalloped circle from Basic White using the Scalloped Blooms Dies.

  • Stamp the sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set on the die cut in Pretty Peacock ink and adhere to the card.

  • Tie a bow with the ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.

  • Add a Pretty Peacock Dot.

 
 

On the inside layer (3-1/2 x 8-1/4), stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. Adhere a 1 x 3-1/2 strip of Designer Series Paper to the bottom.

 
 

It took a while to line up all the strips but I like how it turned out!
