Well if it weren't for challenges, I'd probably never have tried this technique. BUT I must admit it was very fun and not all that hard. Thanks Toy for pushing me to try something new! hehe.......details.....
I had just the perfect Rubbernecker Stamp for a stain glass look. I followed all the instructions in the making of this. Must say this is one hard card to photograph.
I did put a yellow circle of cs behind the image, then put it on the light green bazzil cs that I sponged the edges with bundled sage. Cut out a frame from glossy black cs and popped it up.
Had this dotted ribbon thing just sitting around. Punched a bunch of cork circles and put them on.
Well, since I did the glitter part before work I was super shiny myself all day! hehe.....hope you like my card.....TFL :0)

This is beautiful! The perfect image for this challenge! If people noticed that you sparkle, just tell them it's your personality coming through!
The cork circles are a great addition!

Great card, Cathy! Love your dragonflies in the lily pond. You really did achieve a stained glass look. I know what you mean about being shiny yourself when you work with fine glitter...it goes everywhere!! : )

Holy Moses, russian spy, this is certainly different for you, dont you think? I dont remember seeing that image before. That's not good! This is really wonderful with all those fantastic circles and embossing. oh my, really stepped out of that comfort zone today, didnt you? I am so excited about two things: 1) I'm gonna be a great aunt and to a little girl. Woohoo. How great is that? Congratulations. You will love having a little girl in your life. Just you wait and see. I bet instead of making cards all time, this little girl is gonna be stealing your time. 2) you've finally acknowledged me as your NC sister! Life is so good!
