Hi bloggers! I have a really quick and easy stained glass card for you today! I started by cutting the
Sailboat Stained Glass die out of
Cobalt blue card. I glued a piece of
vellum to the back of it, then turned it over and coloured in the design with
Distress markers. I used
Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Stormy Sky, Tea Dye, Picket Fence and Faded Jeans for the colour selection. I did use a wet paint brush to lighten some of the colours and add a bit of shading in the sun area. I used the
Double Stitched Rectangle dies to add a multi layered white frame around the design, which I added with mounting foam to raise it for dimension. The card was completed with white, red and blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue and all
Fantastic card this morning , the effect you have created from pens has given an amazing results. The framing of the card with colours really makes the design stand out. This is one of your cards that should be framed.

This is great - just love it :))
Hi Sue,
A fabulous card today. I love how you have colored onto vellum with distress markers, I would never have thought to do that. The red, white, and blue mats just give it a truly nautical feel. Makes me want to go out sailing in the bay. I love it.
Have a wonderful day.

Beautiful card Sue love the way this card is simple to do and with such a great result. Laura O Springfield
Good Morning Sue. This morning's card is really very nice.... but unfortunately not for me. The stained glass cards are the only sets of Sues that just don't do anything for me. I am sorry if I offend anyone with my post....as I know many of you like these sets.... but it would not do for us all to like the same. Sue always makes a wonderful job with all her dies and this is no exception. Sending best wishes to everyone this very sunny morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Morning Sue, as the gremlins have returned to my tablet I am having problems charging it up, so apologies for missing yesterday's blog. After seeking help I think it's going to be a new one.
However, I'm so glad that I didn't miss today's offering. It is gorgeous. I love all of your stained glass effect dies. I too will be giving this one a go. Hugs xx Pauline
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning 'man' card today, love it, I do like all the stained glass designs and use them often.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue,
Another bright and cheerful card - are you trying to force the sun to come out and play?..well, it seems to have worked as it's a lovely morning here today!...this card would look gorgeous in a frame...
Izzy
A lovely card, Sue. It's interesting to compare it with the technique Julia used yesterday. Both are so effective.
Anne (Northampton)
My thoughts were just as Anne’s! Coincidence that you and Julia should choose the same die on consecutive days!

Hello Sue
Like Ann while I like what you have done with this die I can't see me owning any of the stained glass dies but I have so many of your lovely dies on my want list to keep me happy
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes
What a gorgeous card this is perfect for my brother who loves sailing, I love the colours and the dies used I have a couple of the stained glass dies but think i might need this one also as the card is so cheerful summery.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Have a good day and stay safe all

Hi Sue,
You can really loose yourself in this dreamy sailboat image. Who wouldn't want to be floating along, with beautiful blue skies and the sun shining...dreamy.

This is a happy card! I like the colors. I was wondering if one could paint using reinkers of the distress oxides.
Best to all,
Donita
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. I do love that die it is gorgeous. I must try colouring the stained glass dies it looks very effective. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Lovely card. Bright and cheerful.
I like the idea of using vellum/parchment behind and colouring it. I must try the same with my Christmas stained glass ones. I don't have Distress Markers but assume the Graffix alcohol markers will do OK.

Lovely bright and cheerful card.

Hi Sue
Wonderful card and so different from the others this week, the vellum gives a fantastic finish. The distress oxides do seem to be somethind that I need in my life!

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. I love your stain glass window dies and the way you have coloured the sail boat. A great card for anyone who loves boats.
Hi Sue I can see this die being used to create a picture for a little boys room, or perhahaps not quite so little a boy.

Hi Sue lovely card I have a few of your stained glass dies I really like them although I don't seem to be able to make my colours as vibrant as yours!
Hi Sue,
Your stained glass collection is great.
I like the idea of colouring on vellum so will give it a go.
Thank you for the inspiration.

Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card suitable for male & female sailors. This is my favourite of your stained glass dies & is so apt for where I live. Good idea to colour the velum. Thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful post. Would be lovely on acetate and with lights behind to make a piece of home decor...
Lovely nautical stain glass look card. Your use of the vellum behind the frame and to marker paint on were surprises. I would not have thought of that. Sue, I really like how you think "out of the box".
Hi Sue
Really like this one,would like to make it and have it on my wall,reminds me of summer,thank you.
Best wishes

Hi Sue,
I love this card, so clean and crisp . very versatile, as one could use it more ways than a card. I was thinking of using it on a small canvas and giving as a gift, as a remembrance of a yachting holiday or similar.
It could also be sent to our younger members of the family.
A die I must buy!
Love n hugs to everyone

Love this card, really makes me think of summer (if it ever gets here)! Thanks for your wonderful idea.
Gorgeous card Sue. Must say I'd forgotten this technique from years ago but for your Stained Glass dies it sounds just right. Will try my version. X
What a great idea. I’d never have thought of colouring like that. X
Hi Sue, sorry to be late again, the day just seems to have run away with me. I love this card, it really is a picture in more ways than one. Love the colouring and how you matched up the matting and layering. I haven't tried colouring from behind on vellum so I should give it a whirl with some of your other stained glass dies that I have as I really like the effect. Thank you for giving me yet more to think about.

Hi Sue

Hello Sue and all
Beautiful ! I love your stained glass dies and this idea looks easy and so effective. I have been playing with the poinsettia and hummingbird stained glass dies with glitter and double sided sticky sheets, having so much fun and my craft room looks like fairyland - glitter everywhere- even the dust in the vacuum cleaner sparkles lol !!! Think i NEED this die too.
Hugs
Muriel x
Lovely card. I don't have this die yet. It's working its way up the list.
Take care everyone.
Love it - though there is a lot going on and lots of colour this card has a lovely clean and simple look. Will have to give this new technique a go, it sounds to be quite a quick and easy method for using with the stained glass dies.
Hugs Helen xx
Hello there Sue . Just when I was tearing my hair out to find a card for my 15 year old Great Grandson and 14 year old Great Nephew along comes comes a suitable card that will only need slight modifications. I don't have the yacht die but I do have the stained glass frame. Young girls are pretty easy to find suitable embellishments for but not so for young boys. Thank you Sue
for all the work you put into your blog.

These stained glass dies are most useful and this card would be lovely for a man

I am late also. Had a frustrating couple of days jamming my Vagabond which is still jammed and probably dead unless the husband can undo on Sunday.It was my carry along machine to stamping groups. I really want a Sizzix Foldaway but they are not sold in the states yet. One would be lighter and not need electricity but I may have to get something else portable sooner now.Blah.
This card is so bright and cheerful and great for guys no matter the age. I love the idea of coloring on vellum on the back. I have used acetate like that with alcohol markers. Donita, if you try the Oxide reinkers, report back to us.
Have a great day everyone. Rainy here and cooler again.
