Stained glass or not stained glass...

These look small, but you gotta click on them to see the gigantic mistakes on them. The three pics are of the same card, just different light angles.

Here is what I have been working on for the past week. Not really, but it seems that way. When I saw the Gloria set, I had to get it, since I never tried the stained glass before and they might go well with the church members come Christmas.

Stamped on vellum, embossed with clear embossing powder, colored in with markers, cut out windows and glued them to the back. The windows on the side are stamped using the Annotations and centers cut out and again vellum on the back. Chair rail or whatever that is called is created using the three dotted line stamps again from Annotations. (Note to self: Needs improvements)

All that hard work and guess what? I will never give this card to anyone, because I like it and I feel like I put too much work into it. Now why did I make this card?

Have a wonderful day! I will be stopping by to see you soon ;-) TTFN.
