Treats on Tuesday at Magenta - Faux Cloisonné

Hi Everyone, I'm over at Magenta playing with a Pizza Flyers, Designer Paper and heat embossing. I'm also playing along with CAS Mix up's Faux Cloisonné for this month Challenge.

My first card is cut from a pizza flyer, this technique is so much fun you can use any glossy magazine picture and it transforms your image.

My second card is take from a book of Designer Paper which looks like Alcohol inks, this DP pack was gifted to my a kind crafty friend 😍


Here's what's left after I cut it, sorry I forgot to take a before picture 😒

Two amazing Faux Cloisonne cards Christine!! Especially love the first one ... who knew a pizza flyer could be part of a work of art!! :) The flowers are gorgeous with the design. Your second card is so pretty with the patterned paper with a little gold running through the design. Great work!! xx

Christine great work with your two beautiful cards, love the use of the Pizza flyer for your flowers and the DSP looks fabulous for the second.

You are so imaginative! What a novel idea to use a pizza flyer for this technique! Also love the DP you used for your second card. Amazing work, Christine! Now I am off to watch the video so thanks for the link.

Your Faux Cloisonne' card is beautiful. What a terrific gift of that paper and the card you made with it is gorgeous.

Susan said...

Fabulous, especially the first one - love those flowers with a bit of text stamping in the background. Hard to believe a pizza flyer could turn into something so lovely! The piece of dp made a great second card!

Wonderful cards. So clever to use a pizza flyer! It worked so well for the poppies. Now I need to find some flyers to give this a try. 😂

Bonnie said...

Wow! These poppies are AMAZING, Christine! What a perfect pattern for faux cloisonne! Love the script in the background of both cards and the pretty patterned paper blooms! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Love the second. The placement of the flowers was perfect on the paper. The first card is absolutely stunning!

Pat said...

Two absolute beauties using these super Magenta stamps Christine, and you have come up trumps with that pizza flyer for the gorgeous poppy flowers and I love the dp with the look of AIs which looks wonderful for this pretty spray of flowers, and the added script on both works brilliantly. x

Leslie Miller said...

Say what??? Pizza never looked so beautiful! Gosh, your cutting is so precise on both cards. I'm seeing more and more of the faux AI paper and loving all of it. I have one pad. It wasn't easy to narrow it down! Your flowers are both gorgeous. Love the script. Simple and elegant!

HilaryJane said...

Isn't it funny how a little bit of a picture will look so completely different when it is given a different use. Love both these, thanks for joining us at CAS mix up xx

What great results you got for both cards, Christine! A pizza flyer to these gorgeous poppies is amazing! The beautiful AI designer paper like this is perfect for the flowers. Great job of fussy-cutting and keeping the cards CAS!

Beautiful cards, Christine. I really like that technique you shared. I watched your video link and may try it this weekend. I may never look at a flyer the same again! LOL. Fun stuff. Hugz

Brilliant use of a pizza flyer. These poppies gained a different dimension. The second card is also beautiful, though my heart was stolen by the first card.
