Well I finally got enough left over adhesive backed rubber to re-make my mosaic stamp. I whipped this card up after American Idol. I guessed Janell, Haeley, John & Tim. I really wanted Tyler to go but figured they would keep him a while. So Janell was not a surprise, but the rest were, I can't believe Tim is still around, what a joke. At one point when they sing that stupid song as a group at the beginning, he was singing and then oops, he forgot to have the mike up and then he put his mike up to his face…ok whatever.
So back to the fun stuff. This was easy to do, but making the mosaic takes FOREVER! I used adhesive backed so this is made to keep, I am not making one each time. Here is the tutorial from SCS. I used all Stampin' Up! product though.
Here is the stamp, all the little pieces glued to an acrylic block, this is the biggest block that Stampin' Up! sells, I wanted it pretty big, I will add more as I get more extra rubber, but for this card, this was big enough. It is nice to see through it so you can tell where to stamp.
I think the card turned out pretty good, (what do you think Sharon?) I used the same layout as the card I did the other night. I have a bit of a headache so I kinda wanted to get done quick…oh and now that I look at it, I think I glued the main image upside down…oh well it is hard to tell, and if I did not say that no one would have known.
Stamp Set: Elements of Style, Tiny Tags
Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, Sweet Pea DSP
Ink: Jetblack Stazon to stamp image, Regal Rose, Going Gray, So Saffron, Old Olive to color image, Versamark Pad, I used Basic Gray to make my look of grout lines.
Misc: Tiny Tag punch, Very Vanilla Taffeta, Clear Embossing Powder, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Black Marker
It's neat, it looks like you broke a plate and then grouted it all together.
Well this old gal is headed to bed, I will be in bed before 10pm, the first time in months, it's usually 1am, and I think it is catching up with me.
Thanks for stopping in, have a great Friday!
Right side up or upside down, this card is FABulous!!
Very cool technique and that's a lot of chopped rubber! TFS!
Cool so do you stamp on the rubber and then stamp on the paper? So it will actually be a reverse image when you stamp it down??
Luv ya

Wow, it looks like a card you spent hours to make! Great details!
I ADMIRE your coloring skill!
Absolutely stunning ~ LOVE IT!!!!!
Wow this is awesome Diane! I luv it! I have to go out & buy a block just for the mosaic rubba so I can have it on hand always, thanks for the tip.
I would love a picture tutorial on this. I love this look and you did an amazing job with it.
on a side note…. I sure hope Canada wins tonight so we can play the Americans in the final for gold. A rematch of 2002 would be awesome.

OH WOW!!! This one turned out GREAT!!! I had collected rubber for a long time and finally threw it out. Makes me mad now. I may start collecting again, just to give this a try. Might take me a while, because I am loving the clear mounts now. LOL
The other comment about stamping on the rubber and then to paper makes me wonder if that would work. Something else on my list to give a try.
Hi Diana:
Did you stick these right to the block or to something like an acrylic window sheet and then you could make the back of the sheet sticky so it sticks to the big block when you need to use your homemade mosaic "stamp." Not sure I understand how you reuse these neat but time-consuming things unless it can easily be removed from the block in one piece. Thanks for sharing! You're amazing.
This is too cool, AWESOME!!! Just love your card. 😉
