This is the third group of cards I made with the Craft Kit you can check out the products and first cards I made here. If you haven’t seen the fast and easy Birthday Cards video yet, make sure to check it out. The Faux Stained glass effect gives a gorgeous shine to your projects. There are different ways to get a similar faux
stained glass effect but I think the way I used for these cards is the fastest way. Be sure to watch the video to see how this super cool Faux Stained glass effect is done.
The colours I used for the first card are Tropical Ocean 363 and Aqua Spray 360 from
the Aquamarine set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Sweet vanilla 473 from the Fair Skin Tones set ( SBC | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Paradise Pink 453 from the Rosy Pinks set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Butterscotch 404 from the Honey Amber set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Ginger Peach 476 from the Apricot Ombre set ( SBC | CRF | TNCUK | TNC ) set and
Wild Iris 436 from the Palma Violets set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Here you can see the pretty gloss from the stained glass effect. I used Craft Perfect Classic Card Mustard Yellow ( CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC ) in the back behind the frame and on top to add a bit more of a bold colour. And it goes great with the colours from the frame.
I used some bits I had left from previous cards cut out of Craft Perfect Glitter Card Ruby Ritz ( CST | CRF | TNCUK | TNC ) to tuck under the circle in the center. this glitter card gives some extra sparkle to a card that is really gorgeous and as you can see a little detail has a great effect.
On this card I used some lighter colours which makes the card a bit more cute:-) I used
Aqua Spray 360 from the Aquamarine set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Paradise Pink 453 from the Rosy Pinks set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Lavender Sky 433 from the Palma Violets set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Honeycomb 389 from the Fragrant Oranges set ( SBC | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Apricot Blush 475 from the Fair Skin Tones set ( SBC | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Cantaloupe 387 from the Apricot Ombre set ( SBC | CRF | TNCUK | TNC ) and
Tiger Lily 374 from the Coral Reef set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Here you can see the details of the card the gorgeous gloss from the stained glass effect again and the Craft Perfect Glitter Card Ruby Ritz ( CST | CRF | TNCUK | TNC ) I added behind the frame and also on top.
other I go over them again with the lighter colour so they blend perfectly. You can combine different shades like
orange and yellow for instance and that will blend in really well. I also used the Nuvo – Glitter Marker – Wild Lavender ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC ) that comes in this months kit on this card for the balloons and the present.
For the last card I used
Wild Iris 436 from the Palma violets set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Aqua Spray 360 from the Aquamarine set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Sweet vanilla 473 from the Fair Skin Tones set ( SBC | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Butterscotch 404 from the Honey Amber set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Ginger Peach 476 from the Apricot Ombre set ( SBC | CRF | TNCUK | TNC ) set
Bright Sunflower from the Sunshine Yellows set ( SBC | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Pink Grapefruit 373 from the Coral Reef set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
Delicate Rose 449 from the Rosy Pinks set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
and
Wild Iris 436 from the Palma Violets set ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC )
The nuvo alcohol markers are available in packs of three co-ordinating colours. I added those in the thumbnails below.
Here you can see the colour of the Glitter Marker – Wild Lavender ( SBC | CRF | CST | TNCUK | TNC ) up close it add a fun sparkle.
And for this card I used Craft Perfect Weave Textured Card Pumpkin Orange ( CST | TNCUK | TNC ) in the back and on top and I added a die cut circle on top in the same colour. The little stars came out of the black frame and I save them as an embellishment.
