Hi Everyone! Here's another card I made recently for my niece. The rose was stamped on thin acetate paper, then glittered on the reverse side for a stained glass look. My friend Pam124 and I learned this technique at a craft/stamping event last year, and we practiced it when we stamped together in January.
The technique is simple but time-consuming - but so worth it - the look is striking in real life. The rose is glittered in three colors of red/pink/orange, the fram glittered in red, gold and silver.
Here's Pam's (Pam124) beautiful card I used for inspiration (I actually have this card of Pam's and it is beyond gorgeous!!!!): {Poinsettia by Pam124}
I normally wouldn't have put these colors together, but they're my niece's favorite and I know she'll love all the sparkle and bling.

Audzi, you finally uploaded this sparkling beauty. I was so fortunate to be able to see this IRL and let me tell any of you out there, it is AWESOME! I just LOVE this unique and fun layout Audzi and all your special elements and details. You pulled out all the stops on this one. I love all your charms and ribbon treatment - gosh, I just luv it all twinzi! Thanks for mentioning my card, but you didn't have to. Guess us twinziz have to stick together!

I am hoping you and pamzi will share the details on how to make this kind of card soon. I vote that you and Pamzi do a tutorial together and record the back and forth between you - wouldn't that be the best? BEAUTIFUL card! I am impressed beyond words. Hugz!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I did this same technique at a stamping show in the fall too!!! I know it wasn't the same place, but it could have been the same show that came to Jacksonville Florida. This is so pretty. Don't you love the glitter and how it sparkles. I know I do. Your niece must have loved this card. Very elegant.
