Art Angel Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Hello Nomad friends.  The 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  This month my card went winging it's way off to Mia in Greece.  Despite postal deliveries getting better the last few month it seems Greece is still a bit of a sticky spot.  Mia's cards travel outward OK, but she seems to wait so long for her happy mail.  Do hop over and check her post.  She is sharing the awesome card she sent this month and also two others that have finally arrived, after many months swanning around Europe!!!  Oh, the stories they could tell.......

Anyway, here's the card I sent to Mia, and it also fits the new theme at Lost Coast Designs, which is Art Doll and Divas, so it's popping up there today as well LOL. 

I used Lost Coast Designs Christmas Angel with Halo and used the faux stained glass technique, stamping on acetate and colouring with sharpies.  I used a fancy die to cut the frame and used the October sketch for my layout.   The sentiment is a Carmen's Veranda stamp. 

 

Here's a close up of the faux stained glass panel.  I put a piece of silver glitter card behind to make it sparkly!

Hop over to the REVEAL and admire all the awesome art

If you would like to join the fun and send/get happy mail you can SIGN UP.  It makes my day when that envelope drops in my mail box every month. 

And if you are making a Art Doll/Diva stamped project don't forget to link it up to the

Lady In The Window

Hello.  Welcome.  Today I am sharing a quick but beautiful card using the faux stained glass technique.

I cut a white card base with Sizzix Double Stitch Rectangle die.  I stamped Blank Page Muse Woman with Rose on acetate with black Staz-on.  Colour on the backside with Promarkers.  Fussy cut and use double sided tape to adhere it to the card base.  Quick, easy and beautiful!

Faux Stained Glass Wedding Card

Hello.  Welcome.  I am over on the Colourcraft blog today with a wedding card I made using Aztec paints.  Love the metallic shimmer and the beautiful look when the painted card is cut and embossed.

I used three Marianne Design dies with card I painted with Colourcraft Gold Aztec paint.  I also painted the outside of the Korthobby sunflower metal charm.  I used green Aztec paint for the center panel for a faux stained glass effect.  It looks a bit gothic window me thinks.  

Hop over to the Colourcraft blog for all the tips and techniques.

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.
