Happy Boxing Day! Anyway…time for a non-Christmas ornament tutorial. Today it’s a mosaic table from Instructables. Love that sight!! It’s Starry Night and make’s a cool table. This tutorial starts by building the table that the mosaic will be applied to. You don’t necessarily need to do that but why not? Then you end up with a completely handmade piece. Not a bad thing. After you build the table then you gather up some tiles and plates and glass, some adhesive, grout and a towel or two, a sponge and all the other goodies you need to mosaic…check their lists. This is an intermediate project although if you are an ambitious beginner get right in and make that table. Send in a picture when you’re done!

Create Stunning Cards with Solar Paste
Solar Paste created by Simon Hurly for Ranger Ink is a paste that looks very unassuming at first. It’s an almost white, light color with a creamy consistency that’s subtle on white cardstock but it really comes alive when applied to dark cardstocks. It comes in 6 different colors that each have a cool metallic shift.
Kristina decided to try it out and created three cards with different techniques with some amazing results. For one card she used the Solar Paste with a stencil, for another she created her own simple background with different colors of the paste and lastly she designed some flowers and leaves, all on dark black cardstock. She mounted the panels on white bases and added white heat embossed sentiments to complete each card idea. She’s sharing a video tutorial on making these cards with some tips for using the Solar Paste.
