For today's Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC425), the colors are Pink, another Pink & Gray and also a dash of green w/ flowers for dessert. I have the 2 pinks, the dash of green & the flowers, but only a hint of gray in the colors of the window. I don't have a gray embossing powder (& so little gray paper left, it's not worth mentioning, must be "time to shop"), so I used a black (for the stained glass window) and hope that's acceptable.
After embossing the stained glass window on designer paper, I added a few white accents w/ a white gel pen then added the coordinating die cut frame. The sentiment was stamped onto a ribbon banner and sponged inside w/ pink ink. The piece of Cheery Lynn flourish & little punched flowers I had left over from another project so I used them. It's all attached to another piece of designer paper and the finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog in just sec: The Write Stuff
ETA: Thanks to those who thought I colored in the window, but it was just embossed on dp & I used a white gel pen just in a few places.

Like a glorious stained glass window in a church, Julie. Your card is stunning. As for the black...it is a neutral in my book....and most CC challenges say "and neutrals of your choice". I'm still gazing at your beautiful colors in the window.

Julie, this card is just amazingly beuatiful. So sweet and pretty I can't quit looking at it. The Cathedral Window stamp is just perfect for these soft colors. A real Beauty !!

That stained glass window is AMAZING Julie!! It's gorgeous done in these colors. I love the way you did the banner sentiment and added the little flower flourish...such a lovely detail.
