This is for Ky's Mix challenge, Richer Colors. She's given us an interesting and fun way to create a stained glass look. I used markers, pens, dye ink and heated ep.
I stamped my images and drew in the stained glass lines. Colored the images with alcohol markers then scribbled markers on a ceramic tile for a palette and used a water brush filled with alcohol to paint the bg. Embossed the panel with clear ep. Dry embossed kraft cs with woodgrain and sponged with distress ink. Die cut and sponged leaves and acorns, tied with twine and adhered to ribbon to complete. Loved this challenge, you should try it too! TFL

This is absolutely gorgeous, Carla. I would never have thought to use such dark colors for the stained glass...now I can't wait to try your technique with alcohol in the water pen. Your leaves are colored beautifully. Pinned and faved.

Carla, this has turned out so beautifully. You ran with the Richer Colours, for sure - those leaves just glow against the muted neutral "stained glass" background. The wood effect frame and little bunch of leaves at the top finish it off to perfection.
