Hello crafty friends!
I love when I figure something new out, don't you? This past weekend, I figured out that the Large Stained Glass (1133P) image can be bent a bit and used to give your background a crackle look (I kind of folded it like a taco). I used it on several of my art journal pages this weekend and also on this Sympathy card.
I started my panels using the Ink/Spray/Smash technique (swipe ink on acetate, mist with water, then smash it on your paper). I used green and brown on the bottom base panel and just green on the top panel. After the ink dried, I stamped the
Script Font Background (098P - my favorite stamp ever) in Pretty Peacock ink. I sprinkled it with water because I was going for that wet with tears kind of feeling. After that dried, I inked up only the middle of the Large Stained Glass image and stamped it all over the two panels.
I wanted the top panel to have a different look so I also inked up the trees in the
Mountain and Treeline 2-in-1 Scene (045P) and stamped the bottom section. I finished it off with the
Condolences (109K) stamp and a bit of Vintage Photo distressing around all the edges.
I love how this came out - hope you can try something like it soon.
Hugz,

I love this card, Nancy! It's gorgeous! The bottom panel is so interesting, and the top panel has perfect shading and depth. I can't stop looking at it! And I also love how you used the stained glass stamp.
So yes, I love it when you figure out something new :)
This is an amazing way to use the stained glass stamp! What a cool base it made and the colors are beautiful too! Lovely card!
Your stain glass stamp on here looks like old crackle which is really cool! Beautiful card Nancy!
