A fun new (to me) technique

This is my card to enter in the casmixup challenge. It is called Faux Cloisonne' and I love the look it gives. You stamp over a glossy magazine page and emboss with gold embossing powder, then cut it out. I used an Altenew stamp and die for this card. I didn't realize the sentiment was a bit wonky until I saw the picture but it doesn't look like that in person. This was a fun technique to try. The image and sentiment were stamped and embossed. I also die cut the image and gold for the sentiment.

Auto correct can go straight to he'll.











Be kind to one another.

This is amazing, Brenda...I don't have any magazines...hmmm. I love how this looks though. I will have to look around and see who I can take a magazine from. I do love that stamp from Altenew!

This is one of my favorite leaf stamps and, boy, did it work perfectly for this technique, Brenda! It's quite a hooker, er, I mean looker! Haha, love the joke! Hugs, Darnell

Brenda you picked a beautiful page to use for your Faux Cloisonné leaves, they look like they are an autumn sprig falling from a tree. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing at CAS Mix Up this month.

A stunningly beautiful card Brenda and it's a technique that I've never tried but I'm a little late to join this month but perhaps something that I will try later. It's great to be pushed out of your comfort zone every now and again x
