I tried a new technique called faux cloisonne, inspired by a challenge, and this is the result. I love it, so rich and exotic looking. I sprinkled some embossing powder on the bg and heated it before I added the cage although it hardly shows in the photograph it looks subtle (see in the detail shot).
