Stained Glass Jester

Hello.  Welcome.  It's the 15th of the month so that's a new challenge starting at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and the theme is Hip To Be Square.  The team are showcasing a particular range of really cool stamps from Carmen's Veranda which are called Squares, cos they are!!!  You can enter any stamped Square creations, or stamped creations using square elements, but do hop over and check out the inspiration from the team cos these stamps are really cool.  I used the Jester square and made a faux stained glass CAS card. 


I love this!!  I'm allowed to say that cos it's true!!  I love the stamp, I love the fact that the alcohol markers on the acetate give such a beautiful bright creation and I love that it was quick!!  No really!  Very quick.   If you ignore the time wasted while I tried to emboss the image on acetate that was not heat resistant!!  So, after I chucked that away I stamped the Jester on acetate using black Staz On.  I left it to dry and cut my gold mirror card frame using square stitch dies from Gummiapan.  Then I flipped my acetate over and used Chili Red, Sunflower, Bright Orange and Blossom Pink Promarkers to colour my image.  Scribble, scribble, scribble!!  Forgot to colour the bells!!  Oh well.  Cut the acetate, add the frame and stick it on a square white base card.  Stamp the first part of Carmen's Veranda Have a Cookie sentiment with black archival.


Then stamp the rest of the sentiment inside the card.  I saved even more time by cutting my sentiment apart!!   No need for masking and the danger of inky smudges cos I didn't mask it right, and cos it's a clear stamp it just sticks to the block as one piece or two and no one will ever know!!  Except I told you!  But that's OK, cos I know you understand.  ROFL.
