High Low Stained Glass

Hello crafters!  Today's card utilises a great technique that I call "the High-Low Technique"  If you haven't tried this technique, now is the time as you can follow along with me to give it a try.  Don't forget to click on the subscriber button and you will be emailed when new videos are added to our channel!
I landed safely yesterday and really enjoyed reading all the comments when we finally got in,
 thank you so much!  It's a double card day today for you so don't forget to scroll down to see card number two (after you watch the video of course!) LOL


Buy from Joanna Sheen





Finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.  All for now, Sue x


 This second card today uses the Lavish Corners Background stamp by Justrite.  I stamped it on to coconut white card using the flake and glitter glue.  Once I cleaned the glue off of the stamp, I gilded the background using the Verdigris Gilding Flakes.  I used the Vintage Labels Six die and cut an aperture in the centre.  I added mounting foam to the back for dimension.  I cut one of the tags from the Bracket and Label tag set in black and added just the end of it to the inside of the aperture, just adding a bit of detail above my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment (from What Defines Us) in black and mounted the background over it.  I used two of the Decorative Labels Eight cut in white to add a decorative edge around the background.  I added a black mat to give it some contrast before adding my white pierced edge layer.  I finished the card with a soft gold, black and then a final white mat.  Finished dimensions are
 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Thank you so much for yet another wonderful video! I'm so glad I chose Calabria as my first of the Italian collection. I'm so looking forward for it to arrive so I can try the stain glass window cards.
The second card is of course beautiful too. Everything you touch turns out beautiful :)

Hi Sue. Happy you landed in the states safe and sound and had a great day with your mom. Hope you have a fantastic time while you are there. Beautiful cards you have given us to try. The high low technique with the guilding flakes is very rich looking and your second offering is very simple but very stylish.
Birthday Wishes to a very proud mom.

Tina, sorry to hear your dad is so poorly. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.

Enjoy your break, Sue.

My faux quilled dies arrived yesterday, - such quick delivery from Julia Watts. I had fun with friends trying them out, but never noticed the flowers were designed cut in both directions so I am very pleased you mentioned that in the video Sue.
Your cards as always are beautiful.
