Make It Monday...Faux Stained Glass

 
Hi there!
 
TGIF!  Hope all is well in your world today!
 
I finally made a card to enter into the PTI Make It Monday...yeah!  Betsy Veldman has a great tutorial on the faux stained glass technique!  I've often admired cards/projects done by many who entered the PTI challenges.  I was intrigued by this technique and gave it a try.  I'm not sure it's the best image to show for this technique, but it's done and it was lots of fun!:-)
 
The tree was stamped onto a sheet of acrylic with StazOn ink.  It was colored with copics.  I went over the tree with my colorless blender to give it the faux stained glass effect.  Pretty sequins from Neat&Tangled were added.  The stitched frame is from Lil' Inker.  And, the ribbon is from my stash.  Voila...another Christmas card done!  Thanks for viewing my card here today...take care!  Have a great weekend!
 
Hugs,
Maria
