Mosaic Madness for CCMC262

Today I have another clean , modern looking card to share.  I made this one for the Thursday Challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we were given a color challenge to work with.







I have never paired these colors, but I really like the way they look together.  I did a card using Mosaic Madness, take a look.



I love the way my card turned out, here's the details.

1.  Picked Bermuda Bay for the card base.  Used corner rounding punch for lower right and upper left corners.  My punch would not go through two layers on the top corner, so I cut along the marks made by the punch.

2.  My Whisper White layer has the same corners rounded off and paper piercing added to the opposite corners.

3.  I stamped my mosaics on a separate piece of Whisper White and punched them out.  I arranged them in the pattern I wanted, then adhered them with dimensionals.  I added small pearls to the center of each one.




4.  Lastly, I added the Happy Birthday greeting with StazOn Black to the bottom right corner.

That's it for my clean and simple card.  I hope you like it!!
You can participate in the challenge too!! Just go to Create with Connie and Mary

Wonderful card! Love the mosaics and what a great use of white space! I am uncomfortable with that, so it is fun to see cards that use it in such a nice way.

I love this card, the crispness and simplicity is beautiful. Did you hand cut the smaller mosaics in the center of the striped ones?
