Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace | Stained Glass Bouquet

It's a miracle that little painted shards of glass can come together to create such beauty!!  The intriguing lure of Stained Glass has inspired artisans from around the world to try their hand at shuffling colors and shuffling shards of glass to create something lovely to gaze upon.  Today we are introducing the newest Amazing Paper Grace collection called Stained Glass Floral Bouquet, created for Spellbinders.

 

Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

 

Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Inspiration

 

Becca says that the inspiration for the collection came from her love of stained glass and never being able to muster the time to do it with real glass.  Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?  Now it's easy to create with paper!  It's amazing how you can give the same outline to a hand full of different artists and each will come up with a totally different look.

 

Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection

 

The Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection is made up of 7 different die sets.  They are sized for layering and include small designs all the way up to A7 designs with different frames that can make both A2 and A7 designs.  The collection boasts shadow dies for each set so that whenever you don't want a multicolor design, you can layer your "die-cut leading" onto one color.  The hallmark of the collection is a sweet stained glass flower and shadow in almost every set.  That gives you a background die and a central motif for each set.  

 

Attention "technique junkies" this collection is sweetly serenading you to try your favorite technique with the leading and the shards. 

 

     Here are ours:

1. Fill each opening with a different color paper and add Glossy Accents.
2. Ink on a hombre background before resetting your shards.
3. Add a smidge of color in each opening with a Copic Marker.
4. Use a different color leading - white, black, gold, silver.
5. Build up tall leading with 4 layers and adhesive in between each.

 

My Projects for Today

I am using Spellbinders S5-445 - Be Leave Me. 

I have made a Congratulations card and a little basket to hold a small chocolate bar.

I added some handmade flowers. To create flowers I used handmade paper and Spellbinders S4-436 - Grand Cinch and Go Flowers. The sentiment comes from Spellbinders DSD-054 - Giving Occasions Stamp and Die set.

I die cut the frame and decorative elements from rainbow mirror card and from white card stock. I off set them and adhered all layers on 3D tape.

My second project is a little basket. I die cut the base layer in white card stock and decorative layer in black car stock. I adhered them together using wet glue and scored along the middle part. I folded it up and added a handle.
