The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Highland Heather card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather card stock was cut and then textured using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I taped it to the front of the card base.
Next I die cut the Basic Black framed piece using the die in the "Fragrant Layers" bundle. A piece of doubles sided sticky sheet was added to the Basic Black card stock that I had cut at 2-5/8" x 3-5/8". I wanted to make this into a sticker so it would be easier to work with.
A piece of vellum was cut at just a hair less than 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" and attached to the back of the Basic Black frame.
On the backside of the vellum image, I colored in the areas using Blends pens. I used dark Granny Apple Green for the leaves. For the small flowers I used light Highland Heather and for the large flowers I used dark Highland Heather.
The Basic White layer was cut at 3" x 4" and the Basic Black layer was attached to it.
Using Lemon Lolly card stock and the small flower die, I cut three flowers for the centers of the three larger flowers on the framed piece. I set them in place using glue.
The layered piece was taped to the front of the card about 3/8" from the top edge and 5/8" from the side edges.
The words were done on my computer. I cut them out using the stitched ribbon die from the "Stylish Shapes" set and affixed them to the front of the card using Dimensionals. I had those word pieces all cut out and sitting on my worktable. I thought I should use them up before they get ruined.
I took some black baker's twine and cut it at 14". I folded it in half and tied a bow. The bow was glued to the bottom corner of the frame and the card was done.
I love the stained glass look and I was thrilled that I could make this card. It's SO pretty in real life!
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

A wonderfully beautiful card; the flowers pop off the screen, it looks just like real stained glass. The embossing background is also so nice. I completely understand that you really enjoyed working on this.
Best regards,

That is beautiful, I love the look of stained glass, your coloring came out so smooth, it seems when I tried it there were streaks, maybe the markers I used. So neat that it comes already framed, may have to try this with my dies and see how it turns out :)
Such a pretty card! Attaching the die-cut to vellum and then coloring the backside is a great idea. I need to give that a try.
