Here I go again with another stained glass poinsettia. I like it better in the last one I uploaded framed with gold.
I stamped the image on transparency sheet with stazon black ink, then glittered from the back with a clear drying glue (or I think you can use crystal effects which dries clear) making sure each color is dry b/f adding the next color. After it all dries, you turn it over and all you can see is the "SPARKLE"! It's like magic! I did adhered the transparency to white card stock for extra support, then cut out and popped the image panel up on dimensionals.
The last one I did, I was asked about how to do this technique. Beate has a tutorial on SCS, but I learned this at a stamp show recently. Here's the link if you are interested:
I used some glitter paper for the top and punched it with the MS embossed Zig Zag Border Punch. Added some glitter beads and embossed the greeting in gold.
These are so fun to make. They take a little time, but they are totally worth it. I've gotten a little better at it since my last one, so it's much faster and better covered than before. I wanted to make a "pink" poinsettia rather than red this time.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look. Off to make more holiday cards.
