Playing with the faux cloisonne technique for Technique time Tuesday

Good morning Lovelies! Well its quiet here in the Fisher Household - my big girl will be waking up in a strange bed - but I expect she'll be having a rare old time so I won't worry too much! Thanks to all of you that reassured me in your comments yesterday too! You're very kind!

Today I want to show you a card I made in response to this months technique at Technique time Tuesday - its called faux Cloisonne - but really just involves stamping on glossy magazine pages! Here's the link - mynnettestechniquetuesday check it out!




I stamped with versamark and added gold detail embossing powder - then cut the leaves out. Next I stamped the verse - the stamp came from Claritystamps but the verse I believe is Keats. Then I stamped the leaves (both sheena stamps) around the verse and added the gold embossing powder and finally added the clisonne leaves on top. I think its pretty effective - nice technique and a lovely effect. I hope you think so too! I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:
