My friends, this card was started for Ky's (Scrapacat) MIX190 challenge for a faux stained glass. As I moved forward, the card evolved into more as I started thinking of other challenges for this week. The card is for these challenges and hopefully I meet them:
TLC630 - Judy (StampingQueenJAR) wanted us to add texture to a card with a technique. The technique I used is the stain-glass window technique. The texture I added was a flavorful embossing powder. It smells like Vanilla!
WT601 - Carla (Covington Crafter) wanted us to create a card that "Mmmmm, Smells Good!" by adding or creating a scented embossing powder. I used three layers of SU Vanilla Scented Embossing Power, and I was surprised that it had not lost its scent as it is old. I was wrong, mmmmmm, my card smells GOOD!
F4A343 - Shirley (wannabcre8tive) wanted us to get "Swirly" by creating a card with swirls. The front panel, my home made cathedral window, is covered with swirls made from a Cuttlebug Swirls EF.
MIX190 - As stated above, Ky (Scrapacat), wanted us to create a faux stained window, which is the main focus of this card. I began my window by stamping and coloring (with copics) a purple Gladiolus flower. Upon completion, with a MICRON pen I drew my wonky pieces of "glass". (Ky did a wonderful job on creating her glass pieces, and mine are oddly shaped in comparison). I used two greenish Copic markers to color the glass.
Whee, that was a lot of work, but does my card ever smell good! Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for viewing and leaving comments!

Oh, Bev, this is GORGEOUS! I used to do stained glass years ago, and I love the lines you've added to make this beautiful flower look like it is part of a stained glass window! I love the cathedral shape you've cut out and how you've colored your flower so richly. Stunning card, sweet friend, and one that will be loved and encourage someone! Hugs!! xoxo
