Mosaic Circles Card.

Hello Fellow Bloggers, Friends & Visitors,

Thank you for your comments and visits on my last blog post, I do enjoy hearing your thoughts on my projects.    Hope you are all keeping safe and well during this very cold spell we are having at the moment.   We have only had a dusting of snow here but I suspect it will get much worse in the next few days.   Maybe this will be Winter's last fling lol!   I do hope so, roll on the Spring is all I can say lol.

My card for tonight was made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Crafts and was  for their shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel in  February 2017.    I was given a stencil and some Sparkle Medium to work with.   I did use some distress inks also.   Hope you like what I did with the stencil.

  
I do tend to look at stencils to see how else they can be used, turning them upside down,  maybe cut out some parts etc.,   In this case I decided to 3D certain parts of this stencil.   Below is a photo of the 'Mosaic sun' stencil.

   
Matt a square of blue paper onto a 7" x 7" white base card, leaving a quarter inch border of the white showing.

Take a slightly smaller square of white card and lay the mosaic stencil on top.   Dab the Victorian Velvet Distress ink over the top half of the stencil, then the Stormy sky and finally, the Dusty concord, using a piece of cut 'n' dry foam.

Wash and dry the stencil, then lay it back on the now coloured white card, moving it slightly to the right (off-setting it a tiny amount, in order to create a shadow effect.)   Spread the Antique Pink Sparkle Medium over the top of the stencil, using the metal spatula and the Diamond Blue across the centre and the Diamond Quartz across the bottom of the stencil, blending the colours together as you go.

  
Remove the stencil and leave the images to dry.   Fix this to the base card.   Repeat this once again onto a spare piece of white card, using only the Sparkle Mediums this time, only doing the overlapping patterns, ie; 2 large and 2 small Antique Pink circles and 2 large blue (with a touch of Diamond Quartz).

   
Cut these circles out and fix to the original images using sticky foam pads with a touch of Magi-bond glue on each pad  (I find this helps the foam pad stick to the Sparkle Medium better).

 
Die-cut a circle from white card and colour with a little Stormy Sky distress ink and stamp ' Happy Birthday' in the centre using a black ink pad.   Fix this to the right-hand side of the card using sticky foam pads, to balance the design.

 
Well that's this card finished.   Thank you once again for your comments and visits they are much appreciated.    Stay safe and warm in this bitter cold weather.   See you all again soon.   Have a good week.
