Today I played with a new technique, faux stained glass courtesy of CAS Mix Up Challenge. I have two cards and three challenges entries between the two of them. Fusion Challenge had rainbow cupcakes - I took the rainbow colors as my inspiration for a birthday card at Just Us Girls.
I started by die cutting three pieces of each die used. I had backed the cardstock with be creative tape to make stacking the die cuts easier. I added sentiments and mounted the panels on card bases.
I stacked two diecuts onto a card panel, then I colored the interior parts with copic markers. I added the third layer of the die cuts, and then filled over the parts with nuvo crystal glaze. I watched several videos on you tube. Links are on the CAS Mix Up Challenge page linked above.
Thanks much for stopping by.
two stunning creations Cat, love them both.
