to create a mosaic. Now you can do this a couple of ways. Nice clean cuts of paper to create even shapes OR lots of different shapes, sizes and patterns. Either way you choose to do it, piece together a mosaic on your card.I simply went to my scrap bin and cut approximate 2 cm squares and pasted them on as a random background for my popped Silhouette-cut sentiment. I really like the way it turned out - and just know I'll be using this technique in the future (my mum's a quilter, and I think she'd appreciate the quiltiness of the look)
I'd list the papers... but I simply don't remember the manufacturer for each of these. I cut up 14 different random scraps.
As hard a time as I had when I read mosaic, 365's next challenge made me laugh out loud. Seriously, Pam must be working overtime to try to stump us! It's awesome!!! They're called
challenges for a reason, I suppose. Challenge # 199 - Shape Up.... and today's shape is....a hexagon! That should be the dominating shape on your card.
Tammy's example was truly inspiring, as were some of my co-participants. I'm glad I had the luxury of finishing my card late - I really needed the inspiration! I decided on a little boys card - inspired by a set of stickers my daughter, Allison, gave me. The hexagonal card with a blue hexagonal cog - and a friendly robot saying hello. Kind of a fun boy card, I think.

Both of your cards are wonderful! I really like the mosaic one...it's great! ~~Pam
I can only see the mosaic one (bloomin' Blogger)and it is awesome. Just perfect and a great way to use up saved bits.
Both cards are great! The mosaic quilt is awesome way to use up scraps and anyway, I love quilts! What boy (or any kid at heart) wouldn't love your hexagon card? The shape, the colors and the stickers are great together.
Hey, Carolyn! Love both your cards! They are so unique! the hexagon card is just too cute! What a great take on both challenges!
