Beach Lighthouse Stained Glass

Hi bloggers!  I started by embossing the background using the Rope Chain embossing folder and white card.  next I cut the background of the Beach Lighthouse Stained Glass die with two pieces of white card under the die.  This is so I get the top piece cut through the die completely and the bottom piece of card just leaves the impression in it.  I used the bottom piece to colour in the mosaic with distress markers, then I used spray glue over the top and attached the die cut image.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas to give it some bling.  I die cut the centre ring, then cut the lighthouse to go on top.  I used markers to colour in the lighthouse, rocks and water, the added a piece of sky blue card behind it to fill in the background sky area.  I added the pieces with foam mounting tape to the embossed background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Again what can I say other than I love it...This reminds me of a tile that you might find in a fisherman's cottage either in the kitchen or around a fire place....This new stained glass range is my favourite so far....

Hi Sue, a brilliant and beautiful card that I loved immediately on launch. At least I got the glitter part right for the mosaic but did not guess you had used distress markers.

BucksGirl said...

Hi Sue - I love this card, and had been puzzling, since launch, over how you’d done the mosaic - wouldn’t have guessed it was distress markers! I have these dies on order - thank goodness for birthdays! Colleen xx

Scottydog said...

Well I wondered on launch how you had done the mosaic, now I know! Thought it might have been paper pieced. Lovely card. Thank you Sue.

Clare Walker said...

I so love the way the corners of this one look like sea glass, as well as the lighthouse itself.

Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Fantastic card Sue x I loved the launch and the stained glass dies and you certainly show them at their best x it's a brilliant technique how you have coloured the mosaic as the coloured section does not have to be absolutely perfect as the top cut covers any booboos x thankyou Sue x

I loved every die in this launch and Jamie twisted my arm into buying the collection. I can't wait for the postman to bring them. I love the beach and as it is in the 80's in SC in March, maybe will get to go soon (probably dreaming).
Hope everyone is having a good day,

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
