Faux Quilted Bonsai Stained Glass Window

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

This is a very simple card to make, a little time consuming but very simple.

I started by cutting Sue Wilson's Bonsai Stained Glass Window Die out of Black Card. Then, I ran the die through the Platinum Machine using the emboss sandwich with a piece of Coconut White Card slightly larger than the Black piece of Card.

I painted the areas on the embossed White Card using the CS Christmas Watercolour Paint Set and a Water Brush. I made sure I painted right down to the lines. The paint dries really quickly. I placed the black die cut on top and added extra paint where necessary. Once I was happy, I used Quickie Glue to adhere the black die cut to my painted piece. I matted onto another piece of Black Card and onto a Coconut White Card blank.

Thank you for all your orders over the Bank Holiday Weekend. I will do my best to get as many of them out today but some may slip to tomorrow. My youngest cat is poorly at the moment and I need to try and get him to the vets today which is never a quick trip. He could have waited till I had less prep to do! Lol 😟

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    This is a stunning card Julia and it looks a lot more difficult than it is. Very effective. I hope your cat is ok.

    Morning julia, fantastic sample today, I am going to try that technique, much easier then cutting the colours out and paper piercing them back into the spaces.

    Hope your cat gets better soon

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxxx

    Hi Julia
    A beautiful card. I loved your tip (on Hochanda) of misting the card before embossing with the die to stop the cracking, I'd had failed attempts before doing this.
    I hope your cat is ok. Our cat died of old age a few weeks ago and we miss her so much.

    A great technique producing a beautiful card.

    The idea is swinging through my brain to use this technique with a couple of Christmas dies. Uuuuummm!
