Hi crafters! The third and final Stained Glass design is the Bonsai. Shown here done in and alcohol ink background, the bonsai design has a decidedly more masculine feel to it and for good reason. I am always asked for dies for our guy cards so I decided to add a design that could easily be used for a variety of occasions and could easily be done to give to the most discerning male as well. Hopefully you can see how easily these designed will be able to lend themselves to different techniques and products. Imagine pixie powders or gilding polishes, micro beads or mica powders, they will all look fabulous as stained glass backgrounds. Leave a comment if you would like to be entered into the drawing for this one. The final post for today is at 6pm. All for now, Sue x

Great for men's cards.

Good Afternoon Sweet Sue, what a gorgeous card and I love how youve coloured it to. hugs Shirleyxxxx
Hi Sue,
Blown away by these stained glass window dies, can't pick a favourite, will have to have them all.
Gorgeous card.

This is gorgeous Sue, my first thought was that you had used pixie powders but I see you have used alcohol inks. I can't easily choose between these three dies in the stained glass collection - I might have to buy all three.
Marion S x
This collection keeps getting better & better. This is my favorite. I love the background also. Captured in Crystal? I learned this wonderful technique from you...one of my favorites to make amazing backgrounds and so much fun.
Beautiful new dies, stained glass look always appealing.
These stained glass dies are a wonderful addition to your line.
Hi Sue I like that you have designed this die with our male friends in mind. It is so good to have a die that fills this option, but can also be used for our female friends as well. Great card.
Wendyx
Hi Sue,
Wow again! These stained-glass dies look fabulous! You are so right; this design could easily be used for a variety of occasions. These set of dies are on my wish list now.
Looking forward to the next post!I am so exited.
Good luck everyone!

Good luck folks

Hi Sue, love this one too, looking forward to the next post! Love Jean from Wiltshire xxx
And yet another wonderful stained die. Oh my goodness, I love how the background just pops behind the die. You are correct, this would be a great die for a male. My goodness, what will you come with next? I can't wait!

Hi Sue A fantastic die for the men as you say as I also like
many other struggle for mens card. Love the colours. Mavis L x Cheshire
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card and yes the die is perfect for male cards. Pixie powders would look amazing as a background as you say, I can see you having fun with this.
Love Diane G xxx
Hi Sue, This is really lovely, the 'scene' that you have set with the lovely colours is gorgeous, and I reiterate my comment previously, this would look fantastic with your caught in crystal technique behind also. Your 'stained glass window' dies are really different and so effective.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
This would be great for my husband as he has a collection of bonsai trees!
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue
I am completely and utterly adoringly and absolutely in lust with the stained glass dies x
You are a complete and utter absolute genius x
I will be back at 6 but have decided to have a bath before then rather than just festering whilst waiting for the next beauty you have in store for us x
Happy thoughts and oodles of love x
Take care

Sue this is gorgeous, perfect for male cards as you say but I can see it on female cards too with different backgrounds. You are so clever.
I am feeling a little better, think the meds are kicking in. Thank you Patricia and others fir asking.
Loving these dies. Definite must-haves.
Good afternoon Sue
Another wonderful stained glass die, this would really suit the males of my family. I can see many ways of using this if I was lucky enough to win it. Thank you for the opportunity.

This is fabulous! I love the alcohol ink background on this beautiful Bonsai tree.
WOW, Stunner! MY COLOURS!!!!!
They've all been lovely, Sue - there is just nothing to choose between them, all so different. You must be very, very proud of yourself for designing all these and then to create such gorgeous cards.
Hugs, Rose

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Fabulous card Sue xx love your stained glass dies xx love how the different techniques make them all look so different xx love Kim D surrey
Lovely die, the bonsai looks like such a versatile image x
Hi Sue, what an ending to a fabulous trio of stained glass panels. I love both the alcohol ink background (I can do this, yes!) and the font on the Birthday Wishes. The bonsai tree makes a great card for men but would also be suitable for ladies just by altering the colouring medium.
Frances
Hi Sue
It just keeps getting better and better, the card and die are fabulous and you have used my favourite colours too.
I haven't tried the alcohol ink technique, but will certainly give it a try now.
Bye for now

Hello Sue,
It looks like your stained glass collection is already on many a wish list, well done for designing such interesting and unusual dies. This third and last one is equally stunning and as you said perfect for those pesky males. ( pesky in my book anyway). Looking forward to the next instalment!!
Yvonne, that was a bit of a random thing to do, do you often bathe in an afternoon or has the excitement just been too much for you!

As you said Sue, a very useful die for making those problematic men's cards. Why can't they like flowers & butterflies, life would be so much easier lol
This one is really gorgeous, looks wonderful on this card.
Janet Wilson in Menston
As you say Sue these dies are so versatile because there are so many different techniques you can try & each will give a completely different look. Like the fact these dies will make smaller cards & they are quick to make. Thank you for this new range Sue. I think they are a must have collection (but then I would love to own all your dies!)
beautiful Sue

What an intricate design in this die. The Stained Glass Collection is definitely a new and ingenious way to show off what a creative mind you have. The card is stunning, I can just see this die being done in the four seasons of the year with this one being Fall.
Beverly from Maryland, USA
A striking card. Beautiful xx
I love this Sue. Definitely excellent for male cards but a change of colour would make it equally good for a female. A great die!

Another super picture die. I can see this paper pieced in blue and white to give a nice oriental feel. Love from Jackie xx
This is my favourite of the window dies, as it feels very ethereal and I'm sure the tree could be cut out and used separately.

Cheers from me Sue.

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a delightful die, I love a Bonsai Tree and I totally agree with your own assessment that it would make a perfect male orientated card. I love the autumnal colours created with the alcohol inks, very rich and evocative and perfectly suited to this particular die. I am very happy with the Stained Glass Collection, and i will be purchasing them quick smart. You are so clever Sue, you never disappointxxx

I think the Bonsai Tree die would work great for a sympathy card too..... Love the Stained Glass collection but especially the butterfly one and this one. They seem easy to use, don't require a bunch of layering on the card, and like you said, you can do so many different techniques with the background. BRAVO! Sue, these are some winners. Now i just need to try to win one myself.
Whow! The choice of colour against this beautiful die is simple gorgeous x
