I love to play with everything and surely among few, who has broken their Cuttlebug!! Yeppers! It exploded when I tried a technique called "Double Embossing" and it literally made my CB popped open like a can of worms and fly everywhere! I was not a happy camper! My new one came and last night I used it with caution!
Today's card for Challenge: April Color Combo week 3 over at Simple Crafting Crafts is using the colors purple, red and blue.I didn't have any paper with those 3 colors so I made my own! I took red, blue and purple dye inks and blotted the inside of a CB embossing folder with a piece of white card stock. It came out SOOOO dang pretty and I love it! Easy peasy!
First I want to thank Lisa from The Purple Place who sent me a beautiful, sparkly, elegant card! I wanted to know what supplies she used for the sparkle...it was a special glitter pen and ultra fine glitter. This prompt me to go look at my glitter and lo behold I have white ultra fine, angle dust glitter by Art Glitter Company and it is so pretty and shimmering. I just love it!.
Lots of fun making this card. I wanted to see if I could make it look like stain glass and it does! It shimmers and reflects light. I even saw my reflection when I was photographing it!!! How cool is that? First I colored Copics , added lots of Stickles. Let it dried and added a heaping amount of Diamond Glaze. I hope my picture shows how pretty the windows are!! If I made this card again I would make the background of the windows a light blue. I feel that would have made them really pop and shade and highlight a tad more. I hope you like this!!
Supplies:
- Martha Steward Border punch
- Diamond Glaze
- Stickles
- Mate paper with Brazil card stock
- Copics

Colleen, your card is gorgeous! Awesome awesome idea on how to make them stained glass windows! I think you should color another with some blue in the windows too just so we can see it!! You're right, I think it will really make it pop even more! Thanks for sharing, it's amazing!
PS....I had a lossa opso/maltese (sp?) mix for 16 years...Misty, she looked just like your dogs! They are so sweet!

Hi Colleen - I hope by NOW you are sleeping and sorry to hear you were up all night.
But, WOW did you have fun by the sounds of things and YOUR new card is STUNNING! I'm happy to hear you found some "glitter" in your stash. I think that brand is also very good and will work very well.
Now you have me wanting to try "Diamond Glaze"....Argh! Something else to buy!! LOL!
