Here is the second project I made using the new Mosaic Etcetera Tiles
from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. The entire Etcetera line is
really affordable, convenient and makes creating adorable projects a
breeze. I had a great time making with them.
This project uses another Etcetera product, the Small Tombstone Overlay,
as well as product from the 2022 Halloween Idea-ology release. In the video tutorial, I do
share some ideas for using some of this year's Halloween Idea-ology,
which wasn't released when I made the sample in my video, so I added a
segment after the release. If you have any questions after watching the tutorial I happy to try and answer any questions to try and help. the best way to contact me is through the contact section in the right hand column.
I thought this dapper gentleman looked like an older version of the man in the frame at the top of the tombstone. I felt this section could tell his story from that young, esteemed man to the older gentleman who eventually met his demise.
I went around each tile with some Distress Crayon in Walnut Stain or Ground Espresso on my waterbrush to accentuate the cracks inbetween the tiles and also to color the grit paste in the corners and along the edges so the tombstone looked old and weathered.
I covered the tiles with Distress Wallpaper Scraps from the Halloween 2022 release. I think they are such beautiful papers and I love the floral pieces and strips included!
I only used the small part of the bottom of the Tombstone Overlay since the tiles were a bit larger than the tag base so the larger part at the bottom looked funny. This little bottom piece was perfect and I added a metal feather signifying him being a pharmacist/chemist who wrote prescriptions and things a lot.
This story using the Clippings Stickers from the Halloween Sticker Book tells the story of how he went from an eccentric but estimable man to going crazy.
This shows the bottom part of the tombstone as well as some of the ephemera I layered behind the paper doll.
This shows the upper bits of the layers I included behind the paper doll. Like I said above, in the video gave some ideas for choosing ephemera and layering it behind him.
As always, I hope you found something in the tutorial or post for this project that inspires you to want to create something in your own style.
Have a Creative day!

Hey makers! I am so excited any time Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonyous
release an addition to the fabulous Etcetera line. Etcetera is a pressed
paper board that is designed and cut at the Stampers Anonymous factory
in Ohio. It's awesome! I have the entire line linked below.
This is one of the projects I made using the Square Panels, Mosaic
Tiles, Large Tile Cutouts, and Pinked Trims. I included the new Edison
pumpkin die and Artsy Leaves dies as well as paper from the 2022 and
2023 Halloween Idea-ology releases.
Here is my short tutorial on this quick and easy make!
