Stained Glass??

I found these stickers at my LSS and wanted to try them. They aren't really my style but I thought, hey let's give it a go!
Stained glass is yet another craft that I would LOVE to try and learn but is it ever expensive! My aunt does it and is absolutely amazing at it! I think I will just live vicariously through her. :)

Here's my paper version!
I couldn't find anywhere on the exterior that I liked a sentiment so I decided to leave it and put it on the inside.

I found these really easy to colour since, sort of like embossed images, the sticker keeps you inside the lines. I like that! A lot!
I just cut out around the sticker (i had stuck it to white cardstock) and pop-dotted it up. Oh and since I didn't have any ribbon to match I just coloured some white ribbon with the green copic I used to colour the stems. Love that!

Thank you for all of the Blog Birthday wishes! I hope veryone is having a great week. Thanks for stopping by. :)

    Love your card Kasia - the faux stained glass image really rocks! I think I remember seeing a similar idea where the sticker is stuck to a piece of acetate so when the light catches the colours and shines through, it is even more like a glass panel. I'll definitely have to bookmark your card so I remember to give it a go! Gorgeous.
    Hugs, Ruth S

    I don't think that this card needs a sentiment anyway :) It is simply gorgeous by itself!!! Thanks for sharing!

    Your coloring is so beautiful, Kasia! I haven't seen any stickers like this before, but the stained glass look is so cool! Great choice of colors, too.

    Who says you need to have a sentiment on the outside? The focal point is so beautiful that your eye is drawn just to that beauty! Beautifully done!

    This card speaks for itself and doesn't need a sentiment. It's gorgeous!

    My father-in-law does stained glass stuff too and, yeah, it looks waaaay to dangerous for an accident-prone gal like me!
    Your card is definitely more my speed -- plus, it's just really lovely, and I love that you colored the ribbon -- I've seen it done with silk before, but not satin. New trick to try!

    Thanks :)

    Wow, that stained glass effect is awesome! Great colouring and I agree with liking the help staying inside the lines. :)
    I have "Little Bee" (surprise surprise) but haven't read it yet. I loved Chris Cleave's first book though ("Incendiary") so I'm looking forward to "Little Bee".

    Oh my gosh this is awesome! It truly looks like real stained glass! I am very impressed. Also, I haven't tried the coloring the ribbon with Copics technique, I'm definitely going to have to give that one a try.

    I found you through Suzanne's blog and am so happy I did. I love your style and will now be following you for each post :) Too bad I didn't find you last night to get in on your blogoversary post! Next year ;)
