I want to first say that I am really sorry for the bad picture. My camera has been acting up with the flash, so I try to get the best light I could. Also, tried to scan the photo but I'm learning that part too. Here's my story. This card took a bit longer than I anticipated but that's ok. It was a perfect day for stamping with it being so cold outside. When I saw this stamp at HL, I knew I wanted to make it into a stained glass card. I followed Beate's instructions in the Resources at SCS. I also incorporated 3 challenges in this card. The only thing I didn't have was the embossing buddy in the tutorial. So, I looked online to see what I can substitute it. It said to use Corn Starch with a sock. You got to have things tucked away in your pantry, because you just never know when you'll use them. I told my husband about it, he's like "WHAT!" Then I patted the vellum with it to make the ink hold. I stamped this image with Versafine onyx black ink. Let dry. Then I used the clear emboss powder, heat set. I loved doing the next part. I flipped the image over and colored the image using the Bic Mark It markers and a white gel pen. Let dry. I wanted to stay with the colors for the challenge of CC192 using Not Quite Navy, Celery, and gray. I attached the completed image onto vanilla c/s the same piece of vellum with a tiny strip of tacky tape. I added gold foil paper to the back and left 1/8 of an inch to fold back over the front (this hides the tacky tape inside the vellum). The corners were used as part of the WT191 challenge for using my corner rounder. I added a piece of sheer ribbon and gold cording from CTMH and tied. The layout challenge is SC199. I hope it works for this. The image is just a bit bigger. I used gray and celery c/s as the layout. I used the CB Swirl folder then colored the swirls using the gold metallic pen. Then used clear embossing on all 3 pieces of the c/s. I used 2 star punches and hand written the sentiment with a Unibal Black pen. The image and the star is held on with pop dots. I really enjoyed making this card.
Have a great night!
