This is for today's Technique Challenge 159 Faux Cloisonne'. The technique calls for using magazine pages with VersaMark and Gold EP. I don't have magazine's that would work with this, or so I thought. I found in the corner of my room a basket that had some old Good HouseKeeping mags. How old??? 2004!!! LOL Probably should throw them away, but then again maybe not. You never know when you might need them!! LOL
Belive it or not the pink came from a Soft Scrub ad. The whole page was swirls of pink!! Worked perfect for this!! I gold embossed the flower on the green ad and twice on the pink ad. I then taped each one to black card stock and cut them out. This made them thick and easier to handle. Then I layered them dementionalizing the top flower. I used the Gold Painty for the edges and dots. I also Gold embossed the BG!!
I really like how this came out!!
What do you think??

Totally, absolutely stunning! It takes my breath away. I love the flowers and the leaves and the beautiful cuttled bottom layer and the lovely ribbon. This technique makes fabulous cards!
