Stained Glass Valentine Hugs release

Sharing some more paper love! Have you checked out the Simon Says Stamp Hugs release? Click HERE if you want a peek. 

I think stained glass is so beautiful. I absolutely fell in love with the Heart Panes Cover Plate die. I wanted to try something fun and use alcohol inks on acetate to look like stained glass. So here is what I came up with!

I made this card using an A2 size card base out of smooth white cardstock. I chose several shades of red and pink alcohol inks that I used on panel of acetate. I added a bit of gold alcohol ink for shine. 

I die cut the cover plate frame out of white cardstock 3 times for thickness and glued together. I then added it to the acetate piece and then adhered it to the card base. The sentiment is the new Happy Valentine's Day die from the Hugs release. I cut it out of gold cardstock and added it to the center of the cover plate. I added a few gold flat pearls for a bit of interest.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I hope you got some inspiration. Also, if you are interested in how I created the beautiful stained glass look with alcohol inks, I watched several videos that Jennifer McGuire made on Youtube demonstrating this amazing technique. Tim Holtz is another great source for using alcohol inks. Hope that helps!! Thanks for stopping by!
