Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using scraps. I have chosen to share the mosaic technique and scraps of Hand Penned dsp. This card was inspired by a video I saw recently on Youtube by Brigit of Kreativ Stempel

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the mosaic technique card, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic Black card – 5¼” by 3½”
Misty Moonlight card – 5¼” by 3½”
Hand Penned dsp – rectangles cut at 5¾” by 4” – you need 3 – 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic Black & Basic White

I cut each of the rectangles of dsp on the diagonal into triangles. You need about 6 triangles for this card. Choose card stock where the colours work well together.

Each triangle was glued onto the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a tiny border between each piece. The excess was trimmed off.

I placed the dsp panel on the trimmer with the short side at the top and cut it down into ⅜” strips. The strips were then mixed up and glued onto the smaller Basic Black panel, again leaving a tiny gap between the strips. Cut off the excess and use these pieces to fill in the last couple of rows.

The whole piece was then glued to the larger Basic Black panel. I wrapped a strip of Black, Organdy Glittered Ribbon around the panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape, The whole piece was the added to the Pale Papaya card base with liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I punched out a Basic Black tag, cut it in half and added it to the back of the sentiment with a little showing top and bottom. The tag was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut some leaves from scrap Basic Black card using the Bloom Dies and tucked them behind the tag. A trio of Black Matte Dots completed the card.

Such a cool card, I hope you like it. You can also make a card just using the triangle pieces of dsp.
