I wanted to try a stained glass card where the 'iron' contrasted, so came up with this white backed card. For this one I put the die on the front and back, so it would look good inside and cover the specialty paper, but didn't quite line my frames up properly so there's a bit of overlap. Ah well, can't do everything perfectly the first time.
I used a flourish from a German stamp set I bought to surround the medallion, reflecting it on one side. The reflection came through very light so I went over it with a black marker, which meant going over the other one too. Again, there's no sentiment as I don't know what to use this for (but I'll think of something).
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections
Dies: Spellbinders - medallions 4, fancy framed tags 2
specialty papers

Stained Glass Card 1
A while back I posted a card with a medallion shaped window. Well, here's where the window came from. I was trying to make a medallion card, and messed it up and so ended up cutting the medallion out so as to not waste it. (It's Spellbinders D-lites Medallions 4).
I used specialty paper from Germany to do the stained glass effect. It's halfway between wax paper and tissue paper in consistency, but allows light through beautifully.
I hand cut the circle out of both blue and red paper (muffing the blue one a bit so there's a tiny sliver where there's no paper), with one combo for today's card and the reverse for tomorrow's.
Here's what I made of the card:
I cut the flourishes on the Silhouette and die cut the tag (Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags 2). The flowers are from the dollar store (my rose dies hadn't come and I wanted to try adding flowers to a card). I haven't put a sentiment on yet, as I'm not sure what I'll use this for yet.
