This month's technique challenge at my NZ swap group was chosen by Jude. She chose a technique called Faux Torn Mosaic - based on a tutorial she had seen on Splitcoaststampers... you can see it here. Jude also said she wanted to see a card that would put a smile on the swappee's face.
So here's what I did for Suze.
I took some patterned paper and tore into stripes and then into little bits. It was a bit messy using Distress ink to add colour around the edges of each piece but got there in the end. I then glued them onto a piece of card I used some Ranger Multi Medium so I was able to coat the entire page. I added script stamping in the corners. I had this little Tim Holtz Snarky cat already stamped so coloured with some pencils before fussy cutting. I stamped the sentiment and doodled around it.
I had fun doing this one even though it was messy.

That is a great card Dawn - love the snarky sentiment :) I enjoyed making mine too, but managed to delete the photos from the computer... so brassed off as it turned out really well and Suna loved it.

I chuckled at your snarky cat & sentiment, Dawn - very cool technique and inking each torn piece added the perfect touch!!
How fun! Definitely made me chuckle!
