Cloisonne Jar of Flowers

Today I'm joining in with the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge - using Faux Cloisonne.  I have not done this before so wanted to check it out!

I used embossing, and stenciling with mousse as my mediums and stamped the sentiment.

I used the cloisonne technique where you take a page from a glossy magazine and gold emboss an image over it.  I didn't have any magazines so I got out last years calendar from the Disabled Veterans that luckily, I hadn't thrown out yet.

This one was from a photo of a sunrise on a farm road, of oranges and tans with a pink sky.  I tried to line up the stamp in an area of colors that would work with the image.

 

Here's the image I used below -  I stamped it in two places  and ended up using the one cut out on the left where it showed the sun rising in the orange sky.    

The area on the right was all a mix of oranges and yellows and didn't have enough variation and you couldn't see the detail of the image very well.

I wanted to try another page with different colors so here is my second card.

Here's the calendar page I used for this stamping, just capturing the darkness of the night landscape and the purples and reds of the sunset.

For both cards, I die cut scalloped frames and stenciled over the center of them using Mother of Pearl Nuvo Embellishment Mousse with a bubbles stencil.  

I adhered each faux cloisonne image to a die cut piece of white card to give it sturdiness and layered it over the stenciling with foam dots after the mousse was dry.  

I stamped the Hello in coordinating colors, punched it with a Word Window punch, added 3 gold pearls and layered it over the image with foam dots.
