Fun challenge to-day. It took a while to decide just exactly what I was going to do!..it's Monday..you are not allowed to make snap decisions on a Monday!..it's a by-law somewhere..I think. LOL So I used Spellbinder circles for my gate fold interlock and coloured the stained glass die with Prisma pencils and OMS. I also dug out some Regal Rose card stock..haven't used that for a while either.

BEAUTIFUL stained-glass effect with prismas and OMS, I've only used this a couple of times years ago and need to get back to it. I LOVE the soft color effects you were able to create here!
I've always loved Spellbinders set you used here, I tend to use the Lacy Ovals more than the circles, but I think each of these are SO ELEGANT, and they will always be "go-tos" for me with die-cuts. And that Regal Rose, hmm, I don't think I have any now, wish I did. That is just a GORGEOUS PINK! And I love the black, always grounds and emphasizes color in the best way. Stunning--as always, my Canadian friend, your talent is just so strong, you make the most beautiful cards! Going into my favorites, of course!!!

No snap decisions on Monday! I must write that down somewhere as Sue's Law ;-). Love the Art Deco feel to this - and your choice of embossing folder is an inspired pairing with your decorative framing.

Lately I rarely make snap decisions about ANYTHING to do with card making...In fact you probably could have one thought up and completed before my process even kicks IN! I LOVE this stained glass look (SOOOO beautifully colored) and regal rose is one of my favorite colors! You ROCKED this challenge girlfriend...
