For my projects today I decided to showcase beautiful stamp set called (not mistakenly) Beautiful Day. I will show you how to achieve stained glass effect using two different mediums.
Stained Glass Effect With Brusho –
I love these bold images with its stained glass look – perfect for techniques and colouring. And that’s exactly what I did.
I stamped the flower and the butterfly on a piece of watercolour paper in Versamark and heat embossed them in white. Next, I filled them in with water and sprinkled Brusho Crystal Colour over the top.
Heat embossing creates a barrier for the water and colour, so you can easily control how the colour spread. I’ve also used the aqua painter to move the colour around.
For the flower, I’ve used Brilliant Red, Gamboge and Moss Green for the leaf. The butterfly is a mix of my favourite Prussian Blue and Moss Green.
Once the flower and butterfly were dry I fussy cut them. To add that stained glass look, I smooshed Versamark on top of both images, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it.
I love this rough texture of watercolour paper!
I kept the rest of design very clean. I sprinkled some brusho on Whisper White panels and spritzed with water (very, very lightly) before assembling my cards.
The edges of both card bases are stamped with three tiny flowers from the same stamp set, and I’ve used Versamark ink. Sentiments are stamped in Archival Basic Black ink. Few pearls finish off the look. I love these vibrant colours.
Stained Glass Effect With Stampin’ Blends –
First, I stamped both images onto two pieces of vellum using Versamark ink and heat embossed them in gold.
Next, I colour on the back of te vellum with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as follows:
- flower – Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive
- butterfly – Pool Party, Night of Navy & Old Olive
I even used Stampin’ Blends to dye Whisper White Organza Ribbon so it coordinates with my bookmarks – so much easier and quicker than using reinkers!
I fussy cut my images.
I die-cut four labels using Lots of Labels Framelits dies – two in Very Vanilla, one in Pink Pirouette and one in Night of Navy so they would coordinate with colours on the images. I die cut the Very Vanilla pieces slightly shorter.
I stamped, repeatedly. greeting from You’ve Got This Stamp Set (without re-inking) on my Very Vanilla pieces: For the butterfly bookmark using Old Olive ink pad; and for the flower bookmark in Rich Razzleberry.
I assembled my bookmarks and adhered butterfly and the flower in the middle using Fast Fuse.
Hope you like my little showcase and that you give the stained glass technique a go.
