My First Cloisonne attempt.....

 Hello everyone: I hope all of you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

****************************************

I'm a person who loves to try new things at least once if anything, just to see if I can do them.  Recently I heard of a new (to me) technique called "Cloisonne", I saw a few video tutorials on how to do it and, to my delight, it's really simple, what took a little longer was to find my magazines and browse through the pages looking for the best images with lots of colors, to use.  So, here's my first ever "Cloisonne" card, please let me know what you think, ok?


*************************************
This is the inside.

And this is what I used.
Stampin' Up! "Peaceful Petals" (2014)
Flourishes "Tulips for Friends" (2013)
Tim Holtz "Alterations" Die set.
Flourishes "Hydrangea" (2012)

I want to play with:
For my added elements I added "Fussy Cutting", "Dry Embossing"
and "Heat Eembossing"

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, they are very much appreciated.
Please stay healthy and safe.
XO
Maria.

I am finding it so interesting to see all the different looks you can achieve just through using a different magazine picture. I do love this look, so special and unusual. Thanks for joining us this month at CAS Mix Up xx

You have the perfect flower and leaves for this and just look at those fabulous colors! Imagine this as a brooch... you'd be stylin'! Love the design with the chicken wire. It's one of my favorites with flowers.
