Stained Glass Your Love

Hi there.  So glad you stopped by.

We're still using faux stained glass techniques 

and celebrating our 3rd birthday at CAS Mix Up.

My mixed media are Faux Stained Glass using Alcohol Ink, Die Cut and Stamping.

This was a super QACAS (quick and easy clean and simple) card.

I die cut this strip that looked a little like a stained glass window

and chose a background from my alcohol ink stash.

This is much brighter than my usual colors but I thought it fit.

The sentiment stamp was a gift from a friend.

I love this scripture.  It makes my heart soar!

The Design Team and our Guest Designer, Gundi, have

come up with some awesome designs to inspire you.

I hope you'll come and join the CAS Mix Up party!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Stained Glass for CAS Mix Up

Hello friends.  It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.

It's a special month for us!
We're celebrating our 3rd Birthday!

with prizes!

My mixed media are Faux Stained Glass, Die Cuts, Splash Watercolor, stamping, heat embossing and dry embossing.

The very talented Joanna is hosting this month.

Here's the challenge she chose.

There are links to tutorials at the challenge site and the Design Team

along with our Guest Designer, Gundi, have some beautiful inspiration pieces

to share with you.

For my card, I die cut this lovely Bright Blossom die three times keeping all 

the pieces of one die cut intact for the bottom layer.  I colored the petals of that layer

with Zigs.  Then I stacked all the layers together.  

When the glue was dry, I filled each of the petal sections with Nuvo Crystal Glaze

adding a thick coat and let that dry.

The background is a piece of Splash Watercolor.  Sorry, I don't 

remember what I used for the color on that.

I did one using black too.

Now it's your turn.  I wonder if you can stop at one?

Hope to see you in the gallery at CAS Mix Up.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
