Birthday Wishes


Third Birthday Celebrations at CAS Mix Up this month... congrats to Loll, Bonnie and the team, a wonderful effort and lots and lots of inspiration.

 This month the challenge is Faux Stained Glass at CAS Mix Up, so after watching a couple of videos available on the blog - I gave it a go....


I die cut my panel three times with the last one I was able to give it a quick run through the Cuttlebug without cutting through entirely (my plates are getting a bit worn)... so adhered some double sided tape to the back and a backing piece. Next I coloured that panel with DO inks (you don't have to be too careful but make sure not to get colour on the background) and also gave the background a very pale blue wash to help highlight the white on the die cuts. Then I adhered one die cut on top and used Nuvo Crystal to fill in the coloured areas for my stained glass (here I found you need to be sure the ink is dry or the colours may bleed) - that's why we have a second die cut to finish it off - to hide messy bits - you can add more layers of die cuts for a more dimension.


To finish I used a rich cream card and stamped and embossed my sentiment in black and then attached my stained glass panel.  I am also playing along at Watercooler Wednesday WWC#211 - Kath's Feminine "Anything Goes" challenge.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciated it - happy stamping.

    Fun, happy card Robyn! Love the mix of colours of the pretty flowers. The soft blue wash does make the white die-cut stand out more. And the yellow card base adds even more colour ... just perfect. Love all the shine and dimension from the crystal glaze! xx

    Very pretty card Robyn, I've tried this technique and my glossy accents weren't playing fairly! You've done a fantastic job! Cathy x

      Don't look too close Cathy because mine aren't anything much, they didn't pool nicely but the effect is there

    I love how you've added the bit of wash to the background and colored just the flowers and butterflies in this beautiful die cut, Robyn. It leaves lots of wonderful contrast that makes those flowers glow! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

    Oh Robyn this is so delightfully filled with joy. I love how you approached the colouring to this detailed die, keeping the background neutral.

    Gorgeous faux stained glass! I am working on a similar card but didn't think to add glossy glaze for added shine. Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
