Stained glass card

Hi folks!

Well, it's been almost two weeks since I've been home from holidays and still getting my head around being back to normal life...sure wish there was someone to make my bed and feed me all the time LOL!  I'm sure it would be boring to stay at an all-inclusive resort too long, but hey, how long would that be???  I think I'd be able to last quite a while before boredom struck!  Unfortunately, we have to work to pay for these treats, so it's been busy at work since we've been home with lots of overtime catching up, and my poor craft room has barely seen me.

I did make up a card though this week, and I have to say I quite like it!  The card is made from acetate and the light streams through it, it looks super cool in real life.  Here is a pic for you to see:


Products Used on This Card - all stamps are from Heartfelt Creations


Card is standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. Card base is clear acetate sheet. Fold acetate sheet in half and stamp stained glass image on front using Staz-on or other permanent ink.  Set aside to dry.  Stamp image of cross on white card stock using black ink, cut out, and accent with grey (Copics C1 and C3 used here).  Colour flower in red (Copic R46 used here ).  Stamp duplicate and cut out flower, colour with same red, and layer on top of the main flower using a pop up dot.  Curl edges up of leaves and petals.  Go back to acetate sheet and colour in the stained glass image on the reverse side of where you stamped it, using permanent markers (Sharpies used here).  Allow to dry and the layer on the cross over top of the stained glass background.
