Stained Glass Technique

Welcome to the March Technique Squad Blog Hop! This month’s theme is the Stained Glass technique, which can be done using a variety of methods. For my project, I chose to use a window sheet and a background die.

To start, I added an adhesive sheet to the back of my 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Distressed Gold paper. Then, I used the background die from Two-Tone Flora dies and ran it through multiple times to ensure all the fine details were cut through. Since I had already put the adhesive on before die cutting, adding it to a window sheet was easy.

I colored in the flowers and leaves on the BACK of the window sheet using Blackberry Bliss, & Shaded Spruce Spampin’ Blends alcohol markers and filled in the rest using Lost Lagoon. The flowers look darker and lighter depending on how often I colored the area with my marker. I added two basic white die cuts behind the window sheet to give the card a little dimension.

I added the panel to a thick white card base and used the Timeless Arrangement stamps and dies for the sentiment and die cuts.
