Hi Everyone, it's Christine here with a quick and easy way to make cards. I recently played along with a challenge which asked to used Faux Cloisonné. Cloisonné is decorative work in which enamel, glass or gem stones are separated by flattened pieces of wire placed edgeways on a metal backing.
Faux Cloisonné uses Embossing powder and pieces of Magazines or in my case a flyer which came through the door. I've attached the link to YouTube so you can see how it's done.
For my first card I used this pizza flyer and stamped the image of the poppies on the pizza then cut out just the flower heads. I did a little background stamping on a piece of white card then stamped the image in versamark and heat embossed in Platinum embossing powder and then used the flower heads from the pizza flyer.
I'm going to wait to put the sentiment on as this card could be used for a number of occasions.
For my second card I used some Designer Paper (DP) which looks like alcohol inks, I forgot to take the picture before I cut it out. This DP is great you get the effect without the cost of buying Alcohol inks.
Again I did a little background stamping but really wanted to keep both cards Clean and Simple.
