Joy to the World

Here's another card using the Peace, Love Joy stamp set, I thought the dove was just screaming for the stained glass technique.

For the stained glass technique:

Stamp your image with Stazon ink onto a transparency sheet then turn it over to the back side. 

Add a clear drying liquid adhesive (I used Glossy Accents) to only one section (at a time) of the image and generously sprinkle on your first color of glitter

Dump the remaining white glitter back into its container then add the glue to a different section of the image and use a different color glitter.  

Do this process until the entire image is covered and set aside to dry.  There's no way to speed up the drying time because a heat tool would melt the transparency but it actually dries pretty quickly. 

For this project I used only two colors of glitter but of course you can use however many you want.  

While waiting for the dove to dry I stamped the branch and sentiments and added a couple of 

Wild and Free sequins

Once the dove was dry I fussy cut it out and adhered it with glue dots behind the darker blue glitter portions and along the black stamped line.  

I love how the branch design peeks through the stained glass.

It's really sparkly and pretty in real life, I'd love to see your version of the stained glass technique...
