Faux Stained Glass
As you probably know, I love the PTI MIM challenges. Somewhere I have a bag full of acrylic pieces I've saved from packaging, but it's hiding--LOL! Fortunately, I have a couple pieces waiting to go into that bag. I was surprised how easy it was to stamp this poinsettia from PTI Peaceful Poinsettia using Staz On ink. I colored on the back with Copics RV09, 19 & Y06. It is so fun to learn a coloring technique a "coloring challenged" stamper can do--LOL! The stained glass technique I learned many years ago just involved using glitter & I couldn't resist adding some to the berries.
By putting it on the backside the glitter is protected & can't rub off. I used Spellbinders to make my frame & stamped the rows of flowers (from the same set) in Memento Luxe Wedding Dress on the vellum panel. The sentiment (same set) is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black. I've been wanting to use one of my doilies & it worked perfectly here, using the layout from Viva la Verve sketch October week 1.
I also used a couple scraps so will enter at Pixies Snippets Playground. Your comments are greatly appreciated--thank you!
