Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Just a reminder that there's still time to join in at
My mixed media are Faux Cloisonné, Stamping and Die Cutting
where Susan has challenged us to do a Faux Cloisonné mixed media technique.
I found a tiny portion of a magazine page and a stamp with some detail, but
not a lot. After stamping the butterfly over the design, I heat embossed in gold
and fussy cut. I also stamped the butterfly on a piece of vellum and cut it out to
mount the cloisonné piece to for extra body. (In hindsight, I should have used
a scrap of cardstock as the vellum wants to curl.
Here's a view that shows the shine of the embossing.
There are tutorials at the challenge site as well as wonderful inspiration from
our talented Design Team.
I hope you'll give this technique a try and join us at

This is a beautiful butterfly Bonnie, and the white background leaves and pierced mat are the perfect background leaving the shiny patterned faux cloisonne to stand out. I love the blue stamped sentiment too which goes so well with the colours in the butterfly and finishes it perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly looks fabulous, I also found that magazine pages can be very flimsy so some support helps. I love the colours on this, just lovely xx
ReplyDeleteStunning butterfly Bonnie, AND card.

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely portion of a magazine page - gorgeous colours!! And a great layout with the square and the branch. I really love this card!
ReplyDeleteI like to make cards with butterflies and yours is striking. You have inspired me to try a butterfly with faux cloisonne. Will be my first try at this technique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous CAS design Bonnie and the Faux Cloisonné Butterfly is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous butterfly on your lovely card. Love all the details. I am looking through a magazine to decide on a picture I want to try this technique on. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteButterflies in real life would be so much more beautiful if they were these colors! This is gorgeous, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing this beauty in person, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly showcasing the faux cloisonné technique. The gold looks gorgeous from your photo, so it must be even more amazing IRL.
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly looks like it would be a great brooch...the embossing looks gorgeous. The diecut looks as though the critter just flew in to rest on it.
ReplyDeleteOMG your butterfly is gorgeous, love the speckles of colour ♥
ReplyDeleteBonnie this is fantastic - love the butterfly, and you have mounted it perfectly to show it off to the maximum.
ReplyDeleteStay safe

Beautiful! I love this technique but unfortunately I have NO magazines... I will just have to admire from here
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, this butterfly is so gorgeous-you picked a great magazine page with lots of color for sure and this butterfly looks amazing in all those gorgeous colors coming through the embossing. I love that you used the vellum, the curls make the butterfly look like it could just fly right off the card! I think that is a happy accident, give the butterfly "body, life". Love this card! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow, this is absolutely fabulous Bonnie. You got a great piece of magazine colors.
ReplyDeleteOh! A stunning butterfly with the gold and all those lovely colors against the white. Perfect color for the sentiment. Too beautiful for words, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, Bonnie! Butterfly made in Faux Cloisonné technique is super nice.

Gorgeous shiny and colorful Faux Cloisonne stamped and fussy cut butterfly, Bonnie. I love your added die cut leaves and sentiment too. Beautiful CAS card design, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Bonnie! Your Cloisonne butterfly is absolutely beautiful! The gold heat-embossed outlines look so fancy on the colorful pattern of the butterfly. Love the awesome layout, using the leaves and the diagonal flow.
