Inspire Me Monday: Faux Stained Glass & Starry Bloom

Howdy all!  Happy Monday and welcome to another fun edition of Inspire Me Monday!  I’m Allison Cope your hostess for today!

Today I’m going to be sharing how I created a fun faux stained glass card.  Some of the supplies you’re going to need for this project include:

• heavier weight cardstock
• acetate or “clear paper”
• anti-static powder tool
• embossing powder
• a window/frame type die
• no-line ink color
• and some fun coloring mediums!

Today I decided to create with our fabulous “Poppy XL” stamp set.  This stamp set includes 4 large Poppy parts to build a bouquet of your liking.  It also includes 3 special sentiments.

So grab a cuppa of something warm and join me in my craftroom!

Here’s a quick look at all the cool aspects of the card…

Here’s the inside panel with the starry bloom.

And finally a close up of the starry bloom one more time…

For those who love to know what colors I used, here's a chart for you...

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope I’ve inspired you to create today! Have a great week everyone!
