Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace | Stained Glass Bouquet
Dear Friends,
It's a miracle that little painted shards of glass can come together to create such beauty!! The intriguing lure of Stained Glass has inspired artisans from around the world to try their hand at shuffling colors and shuffling shards of glass to create something lovely to gaze upon. Today we are introducing the newest Amazing Paper Grace collection called Stained Glass Floral Bouquet, created for Spellbinders.
Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Inspiration
Becca says that the inspiration for the collection came from her love of stained glass and never being able to muster the time to do it with real glass. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Now it's easy to create with paper! It's amazing how you can give the same outline to a hand full of different artists and each will come up with a totally different look.
Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection
The Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection is made up of 7 different die sets. They are sized for layering and include small designs all the way up to A7 designs with different frames that can make both A2 and A7 designs. The collection boasts shadow dies for each set so that whenever you don't want a multicolor design, you can layer your "die-cut leading" onto one color. The hallmark of the collection is a sweet stained glass flower and shadow in almost every set. That gives you a background die and a central motif for each set.
Attention "technique junkies" this collection is sweetly serenading you to try your favorite technique with the leading and the shards.
Here are ours:
Fill each opening with a different color paper and add Glossy Accents.
Ink on a hombre background before resetting your shards.
Add a smidge of color in each opening with a Copic Marker.
Use a different color leading - white, black, gold, silver.
Build up tall leading with 4 layers and adhesive in between each.
My Projects for Today
I'm using S5 448 Radiant Oval Etched Dies for making my card and my floral basket.
Have a look at my projects.
The first one is a card using the Radiant Ovals. How I have loved the stained glass rose with it. Then the second project is a small basket that can be filled with flowers or goodies.
For my card, I have used the INKED OMBRE technique. I have used distress inks seedless preserve, Spun Sugar and Victorian velvet to give the ombre look. The dies are stacked on each other to give the stained glass effect. Then I heat embossed the sentiment in gold .
For my second project, I have created a floral basket using the rose spray die. The swirls can be beautifully used for decorating tags.
Designers Tip: This is a very versatile die. The floral spray can be used alone to create a variety of cards as it coordinates very well with all the decorative oval dies.
