Hello! For today's card I cased Gail's beautiful wedding card you can see here: T-J Wedding by Topaz_n29 at Splitcoaststampers
I used more colour because I need this for an Anniversary not a wedding. I also changed the layout a bit.
Today's technique challenge is so cool! Faux cloisonne'. Cloisonne' means partitions. It is a technique involving bronze, copper or gold metal strips to separate and enclose different coloured glass, to create unique designs.
For the faux technique, we gold embossed an outline stamp over a coloured magazine image.
I used the floral fantasy embossing folder to emboss the Very Vanilla bg. I layered it on two shades of regal looking purples. The cloisonne' image is on a band of Purely Pomegranate ribbon.
Thanks so much for looking!

Deena, this is so lovely. I thought it was maybe a pin, it was so perfect. I'm so glad you stopped by my gallery because your comment led me here to your beautiful gallery.
Don't forget that VSN Weekend is coming soon!
