Faux Cloisonne

Lands_end_cloisonne_2Today’s SCS Try a New Technique challenge was faux cloisonne.  This was one of the first new techniques I tried after discovering the on-line stamping community in November 2006.  It was fun to revisit it today.

Lands_end_cloisonne2Here are a couple of cards from the archives using this technique  They feature a Paula Best stamp embossed in gold on pages from the Lands End Catalog (a perfect technique for November when your mailbox is stuffed full of holiday catalogs).

Today I tried the technique using silver embossing powder, a Magenta stamp and a magazine picture of Rachel Ray’s kitchen.  I liked the variation of colors in the image & the abstract look this stamp produces.
