For my card today, I want to share a fun way to create stained glass using the Cheery Lynn Designs
Lacey Angel die. My friend Stacey from Sweet Stamps showed me how to do this.
Step
1: Die cut the Lacey Angel die twice. I die cut it from Cryogen
metallic white paper and then again from a patterned paper.
Step 2: Insert the Angel die cut back into the DP, turn it over and add a two sided sticky tape to the
back side of the DP. If your tape is not wide enough, just butt the strips up against each other. I used
2.5 inch Scor-Tape.
Here you can see the tape shining through the Angel.
Step
3: Add clear glitter to the Angel, tapping it down where the tape
shows through then knocking off the excess. I used
Sparkly Sweet Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.
Step 4: Remove the release paper from the tape and add a piece of
vellum to
the back side of the Angel, covering up all the sticky tape.
Step
5: Add color to your Angel. I used a combination of
Pitt Pens and
Copic markers. I left the wings clear as well as the bottom edge of her
gown. Avoid getting your vellum too wet as it will buckle.
Step 6: Add a light colored card stock behind the Angel to help the colors show through. I used white for my card.
To complete my card, I added a border from the
Expandable Tiny Borders die to the top and bottom of my card front. And then die cut my
Merry Christmas
die, trimming off the snowflakes. Since I had to cut two Angels to get
my background DP, I decided to use the extra angel to finish the inside
of my card.
I die cut a
Scalloped Oval Small Stackers and the matching
Silver Oval Small Stackers
for my computer generated sentiment. Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5
inches. This is a fun technique and does not take very long to
complete. It would work wonderfully with any of the lacey die cuts that
Cheery Lynn makes.
