Much fun was had creating this for Polly's MIX and the ABC15F6-anything faux. I have always loved faux cloisonne but forget to do it.
I used a mask instead of a stencil...acrylic over Gesso. Stamped a group of four floral squares over the cover of a Signals catalog and embossed with the metallic blush ep. I used both a paper towel and a baby wipe to remove the paint. Used only two squares, turned into triangles so as not to cover too much background.

That wonderful swirling background is a great setting for your little faux cloisonne squares. It looks as if the paper towel had left a little texture, very nice.

I had to come back after visiting this beauty earlier. What a great bg and the Cloisonné diamonds is so very interesting. I especially like you used the base for your sentiment strip. Fav'd twice!
