{Tiled} Peace Collage

Papers:  Memory Box Tinsel Poinsettia Birds, Memory Box crimson cs, Paper Trey Ink white cs
Stamp Ink:  Tim Holtz Distress Ink forest moss
Stamps:  Memory Box Peace Collage G1411
Embellishments: SU ribbon, Stickles diamond, Copic C1

Today's card uses a faux tile technique.  I wasn't sure how it would look with the Peace Collage stamp {G1411} but once it was done, I liked it. I have seen this technique done with background stamps but not a stamp with writing.  So, I decided I would try it for fun!  To create this card:

1. Score every 3/4" on a 2 1/2"x4 1/8" white piece of cardstock.
2. Stamp the image on the side of the cardstock with the "valley" scores.  The stamped image will not get down into the "valleys."
3. Punch a 3/4" square in a 2"x2" piece of cardstock.
4. Use that as a mask to sponge each tile with ink. For variation, try different colors of inks in the tiles.
5. Ink the edges of the entire piece after sponging.
6. Mat the piece onto white cardstock and ink the edges. 
7. Mat that onto a Memory Box crimson cardstock.
8. Tie bow around the center of the piece, and set aside. You can use the bow tying technique I shared in this post here.
9. Mat to a 3 3/4" x 5 1/8" piece of Memory Box Poinsettia Birds paper.
10. Mat that piece onto Memory Box crimson cardstock and adhere to a white notecard.
11. Attach piece you set aside in Step 8 and add Stickles to the snowflakes to finish.

I hope you have enjoyed today's creation.  Enjoy your weekend!

I really like this card Patter. We were on a cruise in Nov. that stopped in Italy and Spain and Portugal--and I took pictures of tile signs on the streets and am interested in trying to do an "inchie" project to look like a tile picture. I think I'll try your instructions too. Blessings
