Hi, everyone! This week's Mixability Challenge is to show what spring means to you.....number one for me is FLOWERS!!! I have daffodils blooming right now....yay!!! For my card, I tried a new-to-me stained glass technique to show off the awesome new Floral Background Die and one of the sentiments from "I Believe". It's not a difficult technique, but it takes several layers of cardstock. First, I cut two white cardstock panels and adhered them together using my Xyron Sticker Maker. I used the Floral Background Die to emboss only on this double panel so that I could see where to color. All of the colored sections you see were sponged or water-colored; once dry, a panel was die cut with the Floral Background Die and adhered to frame the colors. Then, Glossy Accents were used to coat all of the colored area (make sure the glaze touches the framing for a more complete look.) Another frame was die cut and adhered to give more dimension. You could add even more layers but I felt that it was good as is. Since I didn't want to cover up the background, the sentiment from "I Believe" was stamped onto vellum and cut out with the Pierced Circles Dies and glued just inside the border of the circle. The stained glass frame was adhered to a turquoise panel which was cut out with the Matting Rectangle Die, then adhered to the card which was cut out with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Die. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Angie this is so pretty and very spring-y! That stained glass technique is wonderful. And if you like flowers...remember that's our VSN theme for Mar 27-28....I guarantee there will be plenty of opportunities to use flower stamps ;)
