Not a problem Kathy, don't risk missing your package delivery, and certainly don't let anyone swipe my card!
Warning it is hard to stop!
You got that right! I stayed up in to the wee hours last night making close to 50 backgrounds! I printed on light and dark cardstock, sheet music and book pages. Today I finished a card for Yankee and got it in a mailbox to be picked up at 2:30. Phew! It's a good thing DH is not home, the kitchen is a disaster area! A mix of wedding, paint, die cutting, digital cutting ... I'll start to tackle the clean up tonight.
This technique was so much fun. I used a thick piece of glass that came with my circle cutter and a glass pane out of a picture frame. The thicker glass was really nice to work on. I also liked that my thick glass was square and my picture frame glass was rectangular and longer, so it made it easy to lift and separate the panes. I used craft acrylic and thicker Golden brand acrylics including iridescent bright gold and iridescent pearl. A few times I spread the paint with a brush, but I also got good results just smooshing the paint between the panes by pressing heavily on the top pane.
I got results that remind me of everything from trees to coral.
Fun!
Thanks for the challenge/swap Jan, and for encouraging me to sign up even when I was overwhelmed with wedding!
(By the way, the wedding went with out a hitch, we had a ton of fun and the bride and groom didn't want to leave the reception! They had a sparkler send off and the sparklers were close to 3 ft long so they lasted long enough that they ran through them 3 times! I'll share some pics later this week.)
