Faux Cloisonne - part Deux


haha.. see what i did there??? ok.. never mind!!
I love this card! It is a total CASE of one done by Alisa Tilsner from Aussie - but when have I ever let that stop me??? :)
I did drop one flower, and used cloisonne instead of cardstock, so obviously it is TOTALLY different! (and her brads are straight!!)

A note on CASE-ing:
CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything, and I personally would not be able to create ANYthing if this was not acceptable. I am not colour co-ordinated, and have no concept of design and space, so please - if I CASE you - take it as a compliment. :) I ALWAYS credit (not necessarily with a link, but at least the full name and country if possible) - and if I dont know I will say so, but will still acknowledge it was not my original.
Ok, soap box lecture over :) Carry on!

where did March go??

And February and January - and most of April in fact!
I suck at this blogging business - I know - I admit it!
It took a blog hop to get me back on here - I need deadlines! What can i say! :)
I have been creating - so I will share my creations on here over the next few days, then check back on thursday for the ESAD Blog Hop :)

OK.. so I have my Big Shot, and i have been playing with that A LOT, but I want to save that for after the blog hop!So this is what I was doing before!!
This uses a technique called "Faux Cloisonne", and there is an awesome tutorial on Splitcoast here
I have a few of this technique to show you over the next few days.
So without further ado, coz I know you have been waitin 4 months for these pics!! ;)
a matching pair - boy baby and girl baby! Take your pick :)

re-inker water colouring

This has been all over blogger land recently, and I tried this ages ago.
I blatantly copied Sharlene Meyer's layout, but didn't have the fifth avenue floral set at the time - so used embrace life.
the top note is cut by hand (takes ages!!) - but worth it - such a classy look.
If you haven't seen it before, check out patty's tutorial to find out how to do this simple, yet stunning technique.
