Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves Stained Glass Card for the Stampers Showcase October 2021 Autumn Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the October 2021 Stamper's Showcase Blog Hop!  This month we're sharing beautiful Autumn/Fall themed projects.  I love the Autumn season with all it's beautiful colors so I chose to create a simple card with a fun Stained Glass Technique to share with you.

The Stained Glass Technique involves using Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to color on a piece of acetate/window sheet.  This colored window sheet is sandwiched between the layers of cardstock, and accentuated with a beautiful maple leaf die cut from the Intricate Leaves Dies.
This is the back side of the image - showing how I've used three shades of Stampin' Blends to color the window sheet.
The color on the window sheet looks just like stained glass behind the gold metallic maple leaf.
Measurements:
Thick Basic White 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" and fold
Early Espresso cardstock 3 3/4" x 5
Basic White cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Stained Glass Swallowtail

I recently attended a Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in sunny Orlando, FL.  It was 2 1/2 days jam packed with inspiring presentations, product demonstrations, free stamping goodies, meeting demonstrators from all across the US & Canada, and swapping!  I made a total of 75 cards and 20 scrapbook pages (10 double layouts) to swap with all my new friends.  

 The new Swallowtail stamp set from the Spring Catalog is one of my absolute favorites!  It's a large detailed stamp that covers a full card front.  Here is the card I made for the Technique Swap I joined:

To create the Stained Glass effect:
1.  Stamp image using VersarMark ink on Vellum Cardstock.  
2.  Cover with Black Embossing Powder and Heat Emboss.
3.  Cut out Swallowtail with your Paper Snips.
4.  Apply complimentary colors of ink to back side of butterfly using Sponge Daubers.  I used Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, and Pacific Point.
5.  Wipe off excess ink with a paper towel and adhere to card with Stampin Dimensionals.
It's hard to see in the picture, but I placed 3 Rhinestone Jewels to the upper portion of each wing.

This is such a fun technique I hope you give it a try!
