A Friend Is Like A Rainbow

 Morning all!  I haven't done the Faux Cloisonne technique in ages so I thought I would have a go with this stamped image.  On black card, I stamped the Zentangled Flower Square using a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it in gold.  Next I painted the images with mica powders to give it the cloisonne look.  Usually I would cover it in glossy accents, but I decide to leave it as is this time.  I cut it out with the square from the Herald Square die set.  I used the same die and cut an aperture in a piece of vintage gold card.  I used the Art Deco Rose Swirl embossing folder to give the entire background some texture.  I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it for dimension.  I recessed the painted square down into the centre of it.  I stamped my sentiment and cut a frame from the smaller die in the Madison Square die set to go over it.  I mounted it in a diamond orientation in the centre of my card.  I added a small floral element using the Camellia complete petal die set.  I sugared it with Ebony Ice for a bit of bling and seated it on some thin satin ribbon and black tulle.  Finally. I finished the card with a white pierced mat, then a thin lavender and black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.
