Scented Stain Glass Window

Hello, friends!!  The card I am sharing today is a Scented Stained Glass Window card. I started developing the card in response to a faux stained glass challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  As I created the card, it evolved into more than a faux stained glass challenge response.

As I started thinking of other Splitcoaststampers challenges for the week, I decided to incorporate all of these challenges, but the faux stained glass would be the primary focus for the card.

MIX190 – Ky (Scrapacat) is the hostess of the challenge to create a card with faux stained glass. I began my window by stamping and coloring (with copics) a purple Gladiolus flower, which is from Our Daily Bread Designs. Upon completion, I used a MICRON pen to draw my wonky pieces of “glass”.  I used two greenish Copic markers to color the glass.

TLC630 – Judy (StampingQueenJAR) hosted a challenge to add texture to a card by using a technique and not an embellishment. The technique I used is the stain-glass window technique. The texture I added was a flavorful embossing powder. It smells like Vanilla and it is a retired Stampin’ Up! powder!

WT601 – Carla (Covington Crafter) hosted a challenge to create a card that “Mmmmm, Smells Good!” by adding or creating a scented embossing powder.  I used three layers of SU Vanilla Scented Embossing Power, and I was surprised that it had not lost its scent as it is old. I was wrong, mmmmmm, my card smells GOOD!

F4A343 – Shirley (wannabcre8tive) hosted a challenge to get “Swirly” by creating a card with swirls. The front panel, my hand-made cathedral window, is covered with swirls made from a Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder.

Whee, that was a lot of work, but does my card ever smell good!  If interested in seeing all the wonderful comments made about this card, you can see them HERE!

Lovely As A Tree-Color Challenge

Last week I made this Lovely As A Tree card in response to a Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Barbara aka bejoyce was the host for the Color Challenge, CC577 – Pink Pool in the Meadow!   Barbara picked the wonderful colors of Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, and Mossy Meadow, and she gave us a “dessert” option of having one or more animals on the card.

(UPDATE:  This card was selected as a Favorite of the Week on Splitcoaststampers for the week ending April 10!)

These colors go so well together and I enjoyed participating in the challenge.  Remember Barbara’s challenge included dessert (i.e., extra points) if animals were included on the card?  Well look closely and you’ll see five squirrels enjoying themselves under the “Lovely As A Tree”.  I decided to offset my image to provide some room on the left side of the card for a ribbon and to use color blocking.

This card was selected as a Splitcoaststampers Favorite!  It’s a favorite of mine as well!

I hope you enjoy the card and thanks for stopping by!!!
