Hello! The card that I am posting was inspired by the challenge at CAS Mix Up challenge which is to use Faux Cloisonne. This technique is new to me so I watched the tutorials listed with the challenge and had to give it a try. I chose a page (shown below) from an old Martha Stewart Living magazine to use for my design. I stamped a portion of the glossy page with a Gina K Design stamp from Tropical Blooms set (2018) using Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Gold EP. Next time, I think I'd attach the glossy page to a cardstock before stamping since the paper stuck to the stamp and I only got one chance to stamp with ink even though I was using the Misti.
I used a Gina K die to cut the image which I attached to Stick It before cutting. This made it much easier to adhere the image to the card stock panel of Gina K White CS. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Gina K You Have My Heart Set. I also added a die cut heart cut with Gina K Die from GKD Gold Metallic CS. To finish, I edged the panel with Pilot Gold Metallic Marker, attached it to a layer of Pink CS from stash, and then to a White Card Base.
I will be sending this card to my Mother for Valentine's. I think the Cloisonne technique gives an "antiquey" vibe to the card.
