By the Tide, Mosaic Tile Technique


Today would have been my Father's 88th Birthday, He loved getting my creations!!   And Blue was is favorite color, this one's for you Dad!

 
 
Mat measurements for the above card.  Chocolate chip 3 1/2 X 3 1/2.  Marina Mist  3 1/4 X 3 1/4.  Whisper White.  3X3.  Card Base Bashful Blue 4 1/4 X 5 1/2.  Sentiment from "Wishes your Way".
 
 
 
 "By The Tide" is a must have Masculine stamp set!  The pictures do not show the shimmer, but trust me these cards shimmer!
 
Both card uses the Mosaic Tile Technique.  This technique works well with multiple themed stamps.  Choose colors, cut your focal image in a Square and stamp.  Cut image in Half twice, them emboss with your favorite embossing folder.  Sponge edges and pop up with dimensionals on a contrasting color mat cut 1/4 inch larger than your original square.  The above mats are Whisper White 3 1/2X 3 1/2.  Island Indigo 3 3/4X 3 3/4.  Crumb Cake 4X4.  Sentiment from "Oh Hello".
 
I used the NEW  Borders Scoring Plate on both cards to create the waves.  SU has a great video to explain this new tool at www.stampinup.com/showmehow
I stamped my sentiments first before using the scoring plate.
Champagne Shimmer paint was sponged on both cards for a watery look.
