\"\"<\/a>
\nWonderful sketch challenge today at SCS! I also did another mosaic to go w\/ Monday’s TLC. Gotta love a technique that uses up scraps.<\/p>\n

I did my bg mosaic like Monday’s: w\/ all kinds of scraps cut into pieces and attached to sticker paper. It’s coated w\/ black embossing powder which sticks to the areas left open and becomes my “grout” when heated. I had some requests for a tutorial after I posted Monday’s mosaic, so I took pics along the way for this one and the tutorial should be up here on my blog by tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The flower is from a Nestabilities set. For my vertical band, I attached 3 narrow strips and staggered the lengths. I added faux brads made w\/ 2 sizes of hole punches. All panels were edged w\/ black to give a faux layer look.<\/p>\n

Supplies:
\nStamps: Studio G, various images on scraps
\nPaper: DCWV mat stack (close = to orchid oppulence, taken w\/ teal and cool caribbean, sticker paper, leftover scraps
\nInk: AP coal
\nAccessories: black ep, black Permopaque marker, nestie flowers and ovals, hole punches<\/p>\n
