Create a mosaic look by adhering tiny paper pieces to your paper.

Supplies

• Cardstock (Hero Arts Layering Paper in Pine, Grass & Celadon used here)
  
• Mod Podge, or other liquid adhesive
  
• Paintbrush
  
• Scissors
  
• Outline Stamp Image (Hero Arts K5628 Circle Ornament Tree used here)
  
• Permanent Ink (Ranger Archival Ink used here)

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Create paper mosaic "tiles" by trimming paper into small squares of various sizes.
   

2. Step 2

   Mark an outline on base paper of the general area to cover with mosaic.
   

3. Step 3

   Begin the mosaic by using a paintbrush to apply a small amount of Mod Podge to the cardstock and lining up the paper squares.
   
   Hint:
   Work in a small area at a time as the thin coat of Mod Podge can dry rather quickly.
   

4. Step 4

   Continue to add paper tiles until mosaic is complete. Cover with a top coat of Mod Podge. Allow to dry thoroughly.
   

5. Step 5

   Stamp image with permanent ink, being careful not to smear the image on the glossy surface.
   

6. Step 6

   Trim image and complete the card.
   
   
7. Optional:
   Instead of stamping, die-cut shapes from the mosaic.
