So Very Grateful for Stained Glass

It’s been a while since I’ve played with the Stained Glass technique but I knew the So Very Grateful stamp set would be just perfect for it.

Here’s a card I made recently for Wonder Hubby’s mum who is out with us from the UK for a while.

The aim of the technique is to give the appearance of a stained glass window by embossing an image onto Vellum Cardstock so that you can see through it. Using a black, silver or pewter powder adds to the look of the ‘leadlighting’ and colouring with markers on the reverse side adds the ‘stain’ to the ‘glass’.

To get the full effect of the vellum I cut a window into the card to allow the light to flow through. Alternatively you could mount it onto a light coloured background so that the area is at least highlighted even if it’s not completely transparent.

This picture shows what it looks like when held up to the light.

I love, love, love this stamp set. I know it’s going to get a lot of use!
