For Lisa's fun WTUI challenge this week, which you will findHERE.
I made this background piece using the color=darkorange]Paper Mosaic tutorial[/color]; I used offcuts from gel prints where they extended beyond stencils I had used, and TH collage medium. I think most of them came from my Monday TLC sample. And then I didn't know what to do with it, and then it was yesterday and I was running out of time to make a sample. So I used a poinsettia which I made before Christmas and which had got lost - it surfaces each time I tidy my desk. It was made using the Sizzix Susan's Garden poinsettia, and Bazzill, with Prills for the centre. I punched some ferny foliage from one of my tomato paste tubes to pair with the threaded ribbon border, which was left from my TPT card when I opted for a different border. The mosaic layer was cut with a Spellbinders label and edged with gold Stickles. The black layer was embossed with a brocade ef and rubbed with Craft-T rub-ons, then edged with red Stickles. I threaded some ribbon through the border and attached it. Sentiment is also cut from tomato paste tube. I feel pretty meh about this, probably because I made it before I'd really let the mosaic piece speak to me.

What a great idea for using gel prints, Sabrina...I have lots just sitting in my stash of supplies! Love the colors of the mosaic background and your poinsettia is so pretty! I am always amazed by your tomato paste tube die cuts...we do not have those tubes here. What a beautiful mixed media sample!
