I just love FLW's architecture and esp. his stained glass window designs. That's why I was happy & surprised when Stef picked my suggestion. I wanted to have this done a lot earlier, but y'all know about best laid plans.
Anyway, I just got these stamps and glitters from Sparkle N Sprinkle so I had to use them. The trees already reminded me of the the stained glass w/ its linear colors. The trees. the sentiment and the diamonds are all stamped w/ Stazon onto acetate. Different glitters were meticulously applied to the back side.
For the trees image, I wanted to maintain the brightness against the dp, so I stamped it again on white paper and cut out all the negative space. I attached this to the back side so the dp wouldn't show thru the trees and sun. Then I added some foam tape and attached it to a piece of the dp. It's raised a little from the dp so it looks more like a window. This is attached to the black, then to yellow dp which was bugged, then to the big dp then to a black card.
The big dp was stamped w/ the diamonds 3 times in 3 colors of ink. It kind of reminded me of the diamond shapes in the window. I attached the sentiment and acetate diamond to dp w/ brads, then to the card. Card measures 6.5 x 5. TFL

This is absolutely breathtaking! All the work that went into this is certainly evident because it is gorgeous! I love all the techniques you used. The trees are so great... love the sparkle! Putting the negative pieces behind was a great idea... and your window really looks like a window... you acheived all you set out to achieve! Love it!
