Tile It.

It is day 23 of Beccy Muirs A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge and here is my card for today.

Day 23 is to use the letter T
I chose to use Tree  and Tile Effect Card.
Image is from ' Nanna Vic's Digitals' and coloured with my promarkers, silver gel pen and pearlescent chalks. Once coloured in I adhered to cardboard for extra thickness and then on the back divided the image into 1" squares which I then cut up. (it is a good idea to number the squares as it is very easy when you turn them over and seperate to not know where they go ,especially if you have a lot of white space. ) I then marked out the same squares onto green cardstock using my score pal and bone folder. This gives the tile effect spacing between the tiles when you glue them into place.  The design paper is a freebie from a recent magazine. The stamped sentiment is by Penny Black from their T for Transparent set.

Your tiled card is wonderful Valery, love the awesome background paper. You've done a fabulous job colouring the image, I like the little bit of sparkle you added. I must admit that I always feel a slightly anxious making these cards. After spending ages colouring the image it always feels a little wrong to chop them up... thankfully the finished effect is worth it!
Cheers,
Beccy

What a cool card! I love the little squares but don't think I could get them straight like you did. Requires more patience than I have, so good for you. It is very clever and cute.

What did the doctor say to the shrinking man"

You're going to have to be a little patient.
