Tim Holtz, one of my heroes, used to do a 12 tags of Christmas, but he recently changed his format to
12 tags of 2012, featuring a tutorial once a month on his blog. Last month was the Valentine's tag I did
here, and this month, he upped the ante by doing a
faux mosaic effect. I followed as closely as I could with the materials I have.

it the contrast and I love the Inkadinkado flower stamp on the
background. |
This was a quick fifteen minute project but the possibilities with the mosaic effect is endless and you can adapt the technique to any die cut shape to give it that amazing look.
