FAUX CLOISONNE INSPIRED

I have been wanting to make this altered frame as a gift to my niece for her graduation. So What I had in mind is to use the frase "FOLLOW YOUR DREAM" and the use of a flying butterfly came to mind. So obviously I had to use WINGED THINGS and as I seem to not be able to make anything without flowers, I had to use IN FULL BLOOM which is a close relative to WINGED THINGS. I had asked my niece which colors she likes and she said Orange, Green and Blue. I found this great package of dp in COSTCO which has a few sheets of Burnt Orange colored papers. So I used those to modgepodged the frame. Now as for how I was inspired with the faux cloisonne, I thought I could do this technique for the butterfly and the flowers, but faux cloisonne calls for glossy magazine paper. I wanted to use the same dp I used for the frame, but as it is not glossy I just stamped with Basic Black and used a staszon maker to deepen the color of the edges. I guess it would have been a closer Faux cloisonne if I would have gold embossed the image, but that was not quite the look I was going for. I modgepodged the images to stiffen them a bit. The background is Mellow Moss sponged with close to cocoa and Marigold Morning. The sentiment is on Marigold Morning sponged with Close to Cocoa.

Sorry, I do have to say that it looks better IRL. It is really bugging me that I cannot get the images to look as good as I see them IRL.

Now I am off the school to my dd Vanessa's Puppet Show. She is the narrator and she is all excited about it.

EDITED: ADDED THIS BETTER PICTURE OF MY FRAME. I WORKED ALL AFTERNOON TO GET A GOOD PHOTO AND F I N A L L Y!!!
