I played with a new technique the other day. The Creative Sketches blog had a Faux Cloisionne technique challenge. You use a glossy page from a magazine and emboss with gold. I found a great page in my magazine that was red and thought I could use the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral to make a rose.
I began by embossing the rose 4 times on the page and cutting out different layers to give it some depth. Now I need to decide on my colors. I saw a color challenge at Create, Ink! that was perfect.
Now I needed a design. I saw the sketch challenge on The Stamp-a-Holics blog and knew it would be perfect.
I then needed to add my layers. It needed something so I pulled out my Baroque Motifs added the swirl and some flowers to tie all the colors together. Here is my creation.
