Just Because




Here is another card using the Faux Cloisonne technique. It's the challenge this month at CAS Mix Up. For this one I used an old calendar from Guide Dogs for the Blind. When I first started contributing to this charity, the dog I was sponsoring was a German Shepherd with a floppy ear, called Monty, but after about a year or so, he didn't make the cut as he was too nervous in traffic and so now lives with a family. My new puppy is a black lab called Niko. Anyway enough of this, this stamp is from Rubbernecker, which was stamped onto a calendar page and embossed in gold.  They are cut out and mounted over a strip of hessian and given a sentiment by Memory Box.
Why not join in the fun with this terrific challenge! 
Here is a video I made showing the process

  5. Those old calendar pages really come in handy, don't they? Especially, when you cloisonne them. Love your leaves against the rustic burlap...nice texture but still so elegant.
