For my image, I chose the Inspirational Cross 1 by Miss Daisy Stamps
I wanted this card to be special, so I decided that I'd make a "stain glass" window for my cross to lay on. I started by using Acetate paper I had in my stash. I made a grid onto the acetate, and colored in the water soluable oil pastels onto the back of the grid, randomly adding various colors. I then took a baby wipe and gently swiped the colors downward, so the colors would blend and become more "glass stain-like". I outlined the grid with a black jounaling pen. I adhered another piece of acetate onto the back of that window to keep it from smearing. I used a template to cut out the oval shape in Paper Temptress Heavenly White #80 cardstock, and outlined that with black also. I layered it on top of paper I had in my stash.
The cross was cut from paper also from Paper Temptress: Glossy Yellow and Cryogen Iridescent White. I used Diamond Glass Glitter and the butterflies from Reneabouquets. I really had a great time making this card. The acetate really worked for my window. :-D
I hope you join in the challenge! There's a new one every week!
Blessings,
