QFTD163 ~ A Die With a View ~

Today's card is for the weekly Queen For the Day challenge at Splitcoaststampers .  This week's featured stamper is Peggy, aka jasonw1.  For those of you who hang out at SCS, you are familiar with not only her beautiful work but her beautiful heart.  Peggy never fails to leave me words of encouragement and joy. 

{{Big hugs Peggy}}}

 

For the Queen...

 

featuring Our Daily Bread Designs' Cathedral Window Marble stamp ...

 

 

and Spellbinder Custom Die for Our Daily Bread Designs, Cathedral Window & Border Die .

 

 

 

 

I chose to emboss the stamped image this time with Pewter embossing powder before layering.  If you look closely, you will see a tiny bit of Diamond Stickles in the center of each "pane."  The entire image was layered on a base created with Spellbinders for a bit of added "frilliness."  A few pearls added here and there complement the look.  So what do you think? 

 

I hope Queen Peggy likes it!  Thanks for stopping in!  Until next time...

 

Blessings...

Cathedral Window - Marble

 

 

Cathedral Window and Border Dies

 

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored each panel to resemble stained glass.  I hand cut the final image out and added a bit of Glossy Accents dimensional glue to mimic glass.  I then cut my die out using black card stock for both a base and window trim.  I cut another window, cutting out a section of three "panes" and backed it with black card stock to create my window box.  The base is white card stock, embossed with a brick EF and lightly distressed with gray ink to mimic old mortar.  Dies and punches create the remaining vine, flowers and greenery.  Thanks for stopping in!
