Hi there, crafting friends!
It’s design team member Walter back on the blog with you today. You know the old adage "April showers bring May flowers"? Well, it's certainly true in regards to this card design. I wanted to capture that in my first project for the month and my thoughts immediately turned to the gorgeous Stained Glass rubber stamps from I Brake for Stamps. I decided on using stamp #4 as the focal point and the Wild Berries rubber stamp from Blank Page Muse as the background. I really like the way that they look together!
Here's what I used to create it:
- Stained Glass Flowers #4
- Wild Berries Background Coloring Art Rubber Stamp
- Special Day CLEAR Sentiments Flowers Stamp Set (sentiment)
Here's how I made it:
- Embossed
Stained Glass Flowers onto vellum with black embossing powder; colored
the image with alcohol markers; adhered a piece of acetate over it.
- Embossed the Wild Berries background stamp onto black card stock with silver embossing powder; colored in the berries with Brutus Monroe Creamy Blue Aqua Pigment.
- Used a circle nesting die to cut a whole in the center of the embossed berry panel; adhered the stained glass panel behind the berry panel with double sided foam tape.
- Adhered the panel to the card base with double sided foam tape.
- Stamped sentiment onto piece of scrap gray card stock, glued it down to a slightly larger scrap of black card stock, and adhered it to the card base with double sided foam tape.
The black embossed lines, combined with the effect of the alcohol ink on the vellum and the shine of the acetate, truly mimics the look of a stained glass window. I love it! And it's a lot of fun to create.
