I am going to be sharing LOTS of Holiday Cards in the next few days. I have been so busy with my Christmas Stamp-A-Stacks that I haven't had time to share what all I've been doing lately and I apologize. But you are going to inundated for the next few days LOL - that won't be a problem, eh? Hope you can find some inspiration from what I'm sharing.
Last month I shared a beautiful card at our club meeting. I found this idea on Stampin' Connection (our demo-only web site sharing gallery). I just HAD to try this cool technique and LOVE how it turned out! It's called "stained glass" and it SO easy and fun!
Isn't that just stunning? I surely don't take credit, but LOVE this effect. To do the "stained glass" technique, you stamp your image on Vellum Card Stock with VersaMark and then emboss with silver embossing powder. I did two of the flowers. Then turned it over and colored with the Stampin' Write Markers. Let it dry just a little (a couple of minutes or so) - DONE!! I used Coastal Cabana and "painted" it twice to give it a deeper color - that was for the bottom flower.
I then "painted" the top flower with Soft Sky. Then "fussy cut" out the center. I layered them with dimensionals.
Questions? Don't hesitate to email me if you have questions.
