Sometimes things just work out. I have a lot of scraps of rubber from SU unmounted stamp sets. I have seen this fauve mosaic technique and decided to try it yesterday. What a surprise when I saw that the TLC challenge was to make your own stamp. Even though it has some green in it, it still feels warm, so I also entered it for the MIX52 and WT463 which were to use warm colors. Stamped the sunflower a few times on white cardstock and colored with prisma pencils and gamisol. Glued scrap pieces of rubber stamps to an acrylic block - remember that the cracks between the rubber are what shows. Embosses with clear embossing powder then rubed black ink over everything. Wiped the black ink off where my image was protected by clear embossing powder. Added the layers of coordinating paper, the bow, pin and tag.
