Here are two more lovely examples from Carole Cann, using the fabulous faux cloisonné technique she demonstrated in the July ’09 issue of Craft Stamper.

Enamelled Buckle Topper

Materials

• Magenta stamp: Deco Vase  (40261)
  
• Gold embossing powder
  
• Woodware gold fun foil
  
• Antistatic bag
  
• Versamark inkpad
  
• Bazzill card stock – Buttercup
  
• Cosmic Shimmer pigment powders – Mustard Green; Winter Chestnut; Kiwi Green
  
• Bazzill Chips – Ribbon Sliders
  
• Cuttlebug folder – Swiss Dots
  
• Black card
  
• Glossy Accents
  

Ink the stamp with Versamark and lay it with the rubber facing upwards. Place the chipboard on the section of the stamp you wish to transfer. Gold emboss and ‘gild’ following the step-by-step tutorial in the magazine. Paint with Kiwi Green Cosmic Shimmer powder and glaze. Leave this to dry thoroughly. Thread a piece of card through the buckle and mount onto an ATC-sized card over a buttercup coloured strip that has been run through a Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Tip...If you have a large area to cover with glaze, spread it with a small paintbrush, but not too thinly.
