This is for this weeks technique challenge. Faux Cloisonne. Check out the challenges forum for Monday's Technique challenge and join us!
I did faux stitching using a gold gel pen, and added those dots with the same gel pen. Stamped the "friend" from Noteworthy in black, then traced over it with the same gel pen. Used the Burpee seed catalog with pictures of gorgeous flowers! I am ready for SPRING...are you?

Trudee, Wow......this is quite stunning! I will have to try this technique when I'm back on my feet. I really really love this card. I'm glad that you took the time to do it because it looks like the effect was worth it. TFS!

Never thought to use floral for this, how clever and original. This is one fabulous looking card. Love your butterflies and faux stitching. Your cards definitely go the extra mile!

This is the most beautiful card posted on this challenge! And the most "cloissonne"ish! There are some really pretty cards here, but this looks like the real pottery! Do you have a secret sister? I know someone who would LOVE to get this...wink-wink
