How clever of you - a way to get everyone to look over the technique list! Here is my card for today's challenge. I started with this new angel stamp by Stampendous and decided to do the Faux Cloisonne technique on it. I found a picture in a magazine of a yummy plate of strawberries and embossed her in gold on this paper. I layered this onto cardstock to give it some sturdiness and then cut her out. I added DD glitter to her wings and gold glitter to her halo. I created my own background by using DTP tehcnique with craft inks and then I over stamped this with the swirl from Baroque motifs (love this stamp) and embossed the whole thing with Iridescent Ice EP instead of clear, so this combines two technique challenges. I distressed the egdes and added gold ink and EP. I scanned some old sheet music that is yellowd with age and reduced it on my computer and printed it out. I tore, distressed and inked the edges and added sprinkles of gold EP. When you heat from the bottom this adds some gold glimmers to the piece. I added crochet lace trim and a prima. I also made a faux brad from the same music for the center of the bow and then realized that this has never been a technique challenge.
Edit: I added another leaf to the flower.
