Hello friends and welcome to another day of inspiration..
Today I have a card that has Courtyard Elegance Die as the hero.
I have used only 1 die set to create this card. The outer bigger dies were used for creating the mat and dry embossing. The smaller pieces were used to create a faux stained glass effect.
The stained glass effect looks so cool in real life!
All the coloring was done using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. This color combination is out of my comfort zone and to be honest it took me few tries and to get it to a point where I liked it. I actually wanted to use all the colors of the rainbow but halfway through I thought it looked too busy in this small design so I only used the red, orange, yellow and light pink.
I have used 3-D Crystal Lacquer for the glassy bits (scroll down for the close-up) I use it with Metal Tip for Adhesive Bottles which helps me in getting in the nooks and crannies and also helps in getting finer lines. It dries hard and non-tacky so even if I stack more cards on top it won't stick to them!
I also added white pearls to spruce up the dry embossing.
Read till the end for full supply list and instructions for this card...
