Fall Faux Stained Glass window on Glitter ...

hello Dear friends:

Let's do some Fall cards...

The technique on this this little glitter Bird looks almost like a  
"Faux" stained glass window technique...

usually this technique is done on acetate paper for the window effect (windows on the cathedrals)...
but here it is on glitter paper
which reminds me of the glass used on "Tiffany" lamps... more opaque
don't you think?

to make it, it requires a few steps...
here we go...

1- prepare a whole sheet (81/2" x 11") of glitter, you will have extra for future projects.

on an adhesive sheet pour white "Ritz" extra fine glitter
put excess glitter back on the jar...
**good news: to avoid this step, at the excrapbook expos they sell these pre-made glitter sheets (I got them at the "KrazyKreations booth)
or try using glitter sheets sold in the market as glitter paper
(I have NOT used these papers, but I will give it a try, I do not know if the glitter will damage the nibs, because these sheets have more coarse glitter...I will have to try)

2- die cut 3 shapes and glue them together, (for depth)
glue them to the glitter paper
I did my bird in black cardstock
**note:  you can use stickers instead of dies...

3- start coloring and blending with markers inside the white area...
I used "Copics";  this type of glitter "Ritz" is so fine that it does NOT damage/clog your pens..

4- finished colored bird,
cut around and use the extra sheet for extra projects...

5- make the background,
I used an stencil, sponged the ink through the stencil
and wrap some fine copper thread around some squares...

Lavinia's Cards - Challenge and some Techniques

Hello Dear Blogger Friends:

Here I am sharing with you several cards made using Lavinia's Stamps...

The first set of cards are made following this month theme challenge "Spring Blooms"...


I used the masking technique on both...just in a different way for each card

On This one, I mask the bottom and top and I sponged different inks and stamped the sprigs on the aperture...


I added some "Wink of Stella" glitter on the wings of the fairy (see photo)


This second one has lots and lots of masking...each section is sponged individually and stamped using the same color of ink


detail of the different "spring blooms"
The sections were marked in black with a "black sharpie"



Note: Lavinia's challenge changed it's format...
Now it is being held at Lavinia's main Facebook page, it is no longer hosted at the challenge blog...

But the rules are the same and the prize too!
