I had fun being invited to be a guest designer for the Technique Junkies newsletter for Feb/March 2012. This is one of the fun techniques I was assigned to try- and it is called Faux Mosiac. While the technique called for a tag- I really wanted to make a card with this fun DSP and this fun digi image by Sweet n Sassy Stamps called Cocoa Mouse Berry Sweet. The image is colored with Copic markers. Do you love the background technique- I used Perfect Pearls for the seams and border- and there is a great glazed effect over the top that is hard to see.
The ribbon and tag sentiment and tag punch are by Stampin Up. I added a little bit of lace to go with the pink and the feminine touch to the card.
