GET WELL TO SANDI
Sandi Keene has been restricted to creative thoughts the past couple of weeks due to a recent surgery and is unable to alter/cut/paste/stamp etc. for Mosaic Moments Monday this week. We are all wishing her a speedy recovery.

Janine Blackwelder is filling in for Sandi and inspiring us with fun ideas once again...
This post will be in two parts, one this week and one in the monthly newsletter. I will be showing the contents in March. Be sure to look for the newsletter next week.
This tin held a wallet we had purchased for Brandon last year for his birthday. I knew I had to save it for a future project. I am making a set of thank you cards for a friend who has been in the hospital. This will make the perfect place to hold the cards, postage and a pen.
I started by painting the lid with two coats of white paint.
Then I used ink pads to distress and add a bit of color.
I then added 4 one inch strips of paper around the bottom of the tin leaving just enough space for the lid.
I cut a 4 x 4 1/4 piece of green cardstock and rounded the corners and adhered it to the lid. I then trimmed a 4x4 Ivory RTC Grid paper measuring 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, rounded opposite corners and inked the edges with orange ink.Cut a piece of pattern paper measuring 1 x 3 1/4 and adhere to middle of the RTC.
Using various stamps from the Clearly Spring and TypeStack-All Seasons stamp sets, ink and stamp images onto Ivory Paper Tiles. Ink edges with orange ink adhere to RTC. Apply ribbon, embellish with rhinestones and adhere to green cardstock.
Stamp flower image from Clearly Spring stamp set with green ink onto a one inch ivory tile, stamp image again using orange ink on an ivory tile. Cut out flower and adhere to first image stamped in green. Distress edges with orange ink.
Stamp flower border image from the TypeStacks-All Season each time with a different ink on to a one inch ivory tile and embellish with rhinestones. Distress edges with orange ink.
For this area I used stamps from the TypeStacks-All Seasons set. I placed all three images on my stamp block to get my positioning correct. I then removed the word SPRING, inked the remaining images in green ink and stamped them onto a 1 x 2 1/8 ivory paper tile. I then stamped the word SPRING with orange ink in the middle of the previously stamped images. Distress edges with orange ink and adhere to card. By using the clear stamps and a clear block you can see exactly where you are stamping.
Next week I will feature the cards that I made to go in the tin.
I hope you have enjoyed this weeks Mosaic Monday. Sandi will be back soon with some great new projects to share with you.
Enjoy!
Janine
