Stained Glass Card

Another Winning Technique from
Babette Cox!
(Inspired by Ginny Shelby)

Rubber stamp and emboss (or use a copy machine and copy) your image to a transparency sheet. Color with Marvy Metallic Markers right on top of the transparency. Cut out the colored transparency to the size you wish.

Spray the entire front of your colored transparency with spray adhesive... no, your colors won't bleed. But you do need to BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE TOO MUCH SPRAY ADHESIVE. A light misting once over the top left to right will do.

Now using clear embossing powder, emboss the entire front of your colored transparency that has been lightly sprayed with spray adhesive.

Result: a really great clear 'glass' top. It has a dimpled effect, just like real stained glass! If you are putting this transparency behind a cut-out opening of cardstock, then you will want your transparency to be about 1/2" wider than the opening all around so you can tape it to the back. For an invisible look, you can use Viva Las Vegastamps! Miracle Tape for this purpose.
