Hummingbird Stained Glass
Happy New Year's Eve! I found this pretty stained glass card I missed putting on the blog so thought I would share it today! I started by cutting the Hummingbird Stained Glass in white and leaving a wide margin on it. I glued a piece of acetate to the back of it. I used the Crystal Tints to fill in the sections on the die cut from the top. Once it was dry, I die cut one more and glued it to the base die cut to cover any areas where the tint got on the die cut. I cut a circle with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it, then peeled off the backing paper and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I attached the circle to another piece of white card then added mounting foam around the back of the Hummingbird die where I left the wide border. I attached the die cut over the other piece of white card, lining it up so the sun was over the glittered circle. The card was completed with simple white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now. Sue x
Hi lovely and all lovelies passing through. We have a bright happy summer's day in the midst of ice and snow, this is surely going to bring smiles on faces, thank you xxx Please STAY EXTRA SAFE xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, an amazing creation which is right up my street, I love the difference section being coloured and the stunning sun in the background, I can imagine that this photo doesn't do it justice and to see it in real life would be stunning. On my list of ones to make in 2021.
Happy New Year to you Sue and Colin and your families.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all on this, the last day of a frightful year. The Humming Bird is a promise that Spring is not too far away. I do have this die and never yet used it so I may well start the New Year with it tomorrow.
