These are my first dominoes. Both were bleached first. The one on the left was stamped with Black Stazon and colored in with Twinkling H20's, then pressed onto a Versamark pad and embossed with clear EP. The other domino was stamped with Versamark and embossed with gold EP, then colored in with Pearl Ex using a waterbrush filled with Future Floor Finish. It reminds me of Cloissone. I haven't sealed that one yet - not sure whether I want it glossy or matte finish. Both were painted on the sides with the Krylon gold leafing pen.

These are great! It does look exactly like cloisonne -- it was the first thing I thought of. Trying to think of an SU stamp set that would have the same effect. . . hmmm.

GORGEOUS! Hope you're not getting tired of that word but that's what these are! Can't believe how you got a domino to look like cloisonn� but it does! Wow, they're both so beautiful in the scan I can only imagine how they look in person.

The color on these is so vibrant! I made a domino pin using the same flower stamp (the one on the left) and used the aqua painter and inks to color it. The result is very soft color, nothing like yours. Your colors are beautiful!

These really ARE the best dominoes I have seen! They are something you might see in a high end gift shop. I guess now I have to break down and try the Pearl-ex and Future thing. Sighhhhhhh...so many projects, so little time!
