Year of the Fire Dragon

Hello.  Welcome.  A few weeks ago I made a faux-stained glass project which I loved.  So I was delighted to see Archiscraps and CAS Mix Up challenges wanting to see that technique.  Then I spotted the Less Is More Horoscope challenge and decided I had to go Stained Glass Year of the Fire Dragon!!!


Isn't he gorgeous!!  I've used part of Lost Coast Designs Shooting Star Background, the bit with the dragon LOL, and stamped on acetate using black Staz-on.  Then I coloured on the backside with Sharpies.


I cut a white frame using Sizzix Double Stitch Rectangle and mounted on a white card base.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Awesome coloring on the acetate, Iona! An amazing sample of the faux stained glass technique! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

So striking Gail! You’ve got such a good dense black on the acetate and the primary colours really pop against it with the broad white borders making a perfect setting, love it!

I love how striking your focal image is, and the border of the aperture blends so well with the whole design. We have a maximum combined challenge limit of 5 so, unfortunately, on this occasion you have exceeded that. Please do join us again.
Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x

Hi Anita, thanks for your lovely comment. I have withdrawn my entry to one of the challenges so hope I will still be eligible for the LIM prize draw. Sorry for the rule infringement. Oversight on my part. Hugz
