I found a Land's End catalog with a bunch of largish images of swim suits (blue seems to be the color of the season!), stamped the lily on 3 pages with Versamark and heat embossed with gold ep. Fussy cut the lilies out and then looked through all my stamps and dies to find a long leaf image to approximate the leaves on lilies. I ended up using this PB cat's tail image, leaving off the ends of the foliage. This is really a fun technique and I was glad to revisit it - hope you can play along!

Terrific card with the faux cloisonne technique, Claudia. The blue of the "enamel" part has such wonderful variations. Love the tiny pearls you added to the stamens.

I peeked at this on my phone, and waited till I was on the computer to say how beautiful! Your swimming costumes have made the most gorgeous lilies - DH really liked them too.

Love your cloisonne blue lilies . . . . I'm thinking some scientist should do a little genetic altering to make more blue flowers a reality instead of just and artistic anomally
