Good Things Take Time-Mosaic

 Good morning!  I saw something like this (the silver octagons) on Pinterest one day, they are spaced so that it almost looks like a circle.  I decided to give it a try on this card since the circle shape (especially on the inside) goes well with the circular Mosaic medallions.

On the inside it says "Good Things Take Time"

Material list HERE

 Card size:  6 X 6

Make a card base with white 6 X 12” cardstock then fold in half for a 6 X 6” card.  Cut 1 silver piece of cardstock to 6 X 6, 1 to 5 1/2 X 5 1/2", 1 to 5 1/8 X 5 1/8" and cut 3 silver Simple Centerpiece frames (using 2 dies together) that measure 5 X 5” (outer diameter and 4 3/4 X 4 3/4" inner diameter).

Cut decorative paper as follows: 1 outer piece 5 7/8” square-multi color, next 5 3/8” square-purple, next 4 7/8” square-aqua.  For inside, 1 5 7/8” square-green with a bottom border.  From this inside piece, cut an eyelet circle (largest of the Eyelet Circles Small).  You will use this spot for the sentiment so die cut where you would like the sentiment to eventually go.  Using the same eyelet die, cut a purple eyelet circle.  Set aside inside pieces (green panel and purple circle) for later.

Stamp Mosaic 4 times, once in each of 4 colors, Majestic Violet, Paradise Teal, Vivid Chartreuse and Bright Tangelo, die cut each and use the layers in a stack with foam sheet or pop ups under each layer, starting with Teal then violet, green and finally orange (do not glue yet), sponge each layer with the same color as stamped.  Die cut silver with the same dies for each layer.  Glue the silver off-set a bit under each colored panel, once all layers are glued, glue foam or pop ups under layers. Use Nuvo white and Stickles as desired to decorate the layers then set aside to dry.

When Stickles is dry start layering the front of your card as follows: Silver, Multi color.  Glue foam under the next silver with purple then glue to card.  Glue foam to the next silver with aqua then glue to card. Now glue green eyelet circle to the center of aqua panel.  Layer the silver centerpieces off set so that it basically makes a circle on top of the aqua panel.  Glue the Mosaic stack made earlier to the center of green circle.

Stamp Mosaic border using Majestic Violet 2 times.  Cut borders to fit the 4 aqua corners (in the sample they overhang the aqua panel to line up with the purple panel under).

For the inside: glue the green panel to the inside of card then glue the purple circle in the circle opening.  Die cut a smaller circle from green patterned patter and glue it to the center of purple.  Stamp Good Things sentiment using teal then die cut with circle die.  Glue it to the center of other circles.  Glitter card using Crystal Clear.

My next card features a round card design (with legs!)

Card size:  6” X 6”

Cut 1 panel off the Bi-Fold card base. Die cut 2 stands from white using the Swirly Accents Spray die set.  Die cut 2 eyelet circles using the Rounded Eyelet Window die set from decorative paper. Cut 2 purple decorative paper panels using the outer die of the Simply Elegant Centerpiece die set. Cut 1 turquoise decorative die cut from Simply Elegant Centerpiece. Cut 1 decorative paper Mosaic piece for the inside sentiment circle, cut 1 3 5/8” decorative paper-multi color using circle die.

Glue 1 patterned eyelet circle to the front and 1 to the inside of card. Glue coordinating purple Centerpiece over eyelet on both front and inside. Glue the turquoise decorative paper centerpiece to purple on the front only then glue the multi color circle to the center.

Stamp 4 Floral Mosaics using London Fog (or other gray ink). Die cut each layer smaller and smaller using dies provided in the set. Color each layer with colored pencils as desired to match chosen papers used.

Use foam dots, strips or sheet to pop up each layer of mosaic then glue the stack to the center of circle.  Decorate with different colors of glitter glue ending with a rhinestone in the center.

Stamp For My Friend using Deep Purple then trim as close as possible and fishtail end.  Add a small purple pearl to 1 corner, tuck the other corner under a bit of simply Elegant Centerpiece turquoise die cut.  Glue to secure.

When all glitter glue is dry, open card and finish by gluing the mosaic die cut to the purple layer.  Stamp the circle sentiment from Just for You using purple then glue it on top of mosaic.  Glue the 2 stands on the back of front and the back of card (make sure they are even with each other and with card circle bottom.  These will help your round card stand upright instead of off kilter. Glitter card as desired.
