The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #193 is to use the Cloisonne Technique
and she gives instructions on this here.
I started having a go at this technique using a free gardening magazine and some stamps:
The small butterfly I did first ((The Crafters Workshop stamp) but I discovered the stamp was too detailed. So next I tried the bird - Lost Coast Designs - Whimsical birds which had more open space. I then used another butterfly stamp (Impression Obsession) which I quite liked.
So how to use them?
The wheel in the Butterfly Challenge is as follows with the colour scheme below:
You may have noticed I used cerise flower pages to make my Cloisonne images.
I then matted a kraft card blank (camel?) with a background that is 'Celadon' - using a spritzed mica powder. I added a circle die cut from more of this background on top of a piece of patterned paper.
I then added the images and the sentiment - an Art by Marlene sticker.
I added some linework with a black Posca.
I will add this card to the Butterfly challenge (second challenge using two colours, Cloisonne, circle, butterfly) and the
Happy Crafting!
This is so creative, Susan! I did this technique quite a while ago and found it quite addictive once I got started. I know how beautiful and shiny it looks in person! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
