I made this little holder using the Architecture 3 058 stamp plate. I stamped the stained glass window 4 times onto an A4 card. I cut out the windows and then coloured using distress inks in brushed corduroy, vintage photo and walnut stain. I over stamped with the Calligraphic mat 1 for interest. I tried to cut the tops as if they were a ruined wall with missing bricks etc.
I stamped the window again onto acetate and when dry, trimmed to shape and inked with some vivid
alcohol inks These were attached to the card with glossy accents, lining up with the apertures.
I inked and stamped the inside too. I used tissue tape to join the pieces together (using a touch of glue too)
On the outside I added the two statues, stamped onto grey card and cut out, inked with a touch of forest moss distress ink and mounted with 3d foam pads.
This is designed to be used with a battery operated tea light, not a real one! It looks pretty when lit but I could not get a decent photo!
So there it is, my first project for this month. Hope you like it.
Thanks for looking - Neil
