HYCCT1514 Mosaic Hugs

Photo Details

Poster: catluvr2

For today's "Mosaic memories", I did an alcohol ink Agate technique on glossy cardstock. Next I die cut the sentiment, butterfly background and the hexagons. I used the negative and the positive of the hexagons. Using the embossed edge of the white mat to line them up, I placed the negative hex cuttings by hand (hence the 5 for difficulty - forever) in the upper left corner. Had planned on doing a larger area, but got tired of trying to line up these tiny pieces and changed my design idea to fit.

Nice use of both positive and negative die cuts. The agate technique was great idea for this challenge.
