Tutorial on SCS - Sparkly Stained Glass
Today’s tutorial on SCS is for Sparkly Stained Glass. It’s easy peasy, it just takes some patience to let the glue dry completely before finishing the card. Any outline image that can handle sparkle will work great for this technique. I thought the Flourishes Set All that Glitters would be perfect for that. I love Flourishes stamps. I wish and hope that Stampin’ Up! will start carrying more Botanical/Vintage/Elegant stamps. I miss those in our catalogs.
My card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Back folded in half.
It’s followed by a 4″ square of My Mind’s Eye designer paper. The edges of the paper were distressed with a sanding block. On the bottom a 2 1/2″ x 4″ piece of BasicGrey Figgy Pudding Paper was adhered. May Arts Red Satin ribbon was tied around both Designer paper layers. On the top left a double photo corner was added. The bottom layer is punched out of Basic Black cardstock, the top layer is punched from the Figgy Pudding Paper. Three 1/4″ circle punch-outs from the My Mind’s Eye paper were added and topped with three black brads.
The ornament was stamped in Black Palette ink on Acetate. After it dried, I turned it over and added Martha Stewart glitter with Crystal Effect. Once that was dry (I let it sit for a day to be sure….don’t ask me why. Let’s just say this wasn’t my first try to make this card.LOL) cut the Acetate along with White cardstock underneath with Circle Nestabilities. I taped them together (add more adhesive under your glittered image, that way the adhesive won’t show), adhered them first on a slightly bigger My Mind’s Eye paper circle, then on a black scallop circle. They were adhered to the card base with dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the set Flourished Christmas (Can’t link to it. Out of stock right now). It was stamped in Black Memento Ink on My Mind’s Eye paper, cut out with the large oval punch, distressed with the sanding block and taped to the lower left of the card.
For the inside I layered a 4″ Whisper White square with a 1 5/8″ x 4″ strip of the red designer paper, followed by a 1 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Figgy Pudding paper. ( I have to smile every time I type Figgy Pudding….such a funny name. LOL. What can I say? I am easily amused.)
I promise, the next few posts will be strictly Stampin’ Up! again.
Have a great day! Hugs and smiles
