TLC407 Mosaic Snowman

Photo Details

Poster: gabalot

COOL TLC407 challenge today! This card was made using small paper squares, applied with modge podge for a mosaic effect. I actually had no modge podge but thought I remembered reading you could use white glue (I used Alene's tacky) and water to thin it down a bit, which I did. I used a sponge brush and applied a total of four coats of modge podge (glue mix) and two layers of the square papers. Painting with a disposable sponge brush worked nice.

THANKS for looking! :)
