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.
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.
