Sometimes I find myself writing about a lot of glass news that’s for a more advanced crowd. I can’t help myself…that kind of stuff fascinates me so of course I think you’ll be interested too. But I realize sometimes that I need to pass on information about things for the new glass enthusiast…or maybe even the not quite yet glass enthusiast. I found this super easy mosaic tutorial that would be great for the bare bones beginner but is also cool for those that already do mosaic art. It’s on the Gwenny Penny blog. And I think that these things can be applied to other mosaic projects…

How to Make a Tri-Fold Spring Bird Card
Add some interest to your card making with a tri-fold design. A tri-fold card has three sections that overlap in a zig zag to create dimension and a little extra interactive element to the design instead of a traditional single fold card. Ilina used new stamps and dies from Hero Arts to create her Tri-fold Spring Birds Card.
The bottom layer of her design is the first flap and it’s got die cut grass, purple flowers and the heat embossed white sentiment, the next layer has different pink flowers and the two birds sitting on a hill, the last layer is the inside of the card with a hedge of greenery where you can add a hand written or stamped sentiment inside. She used markers to add additional color to her images. You can watch her video tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog.
