Stained glass daffodils

Google photos tells me that the last time I used this stamp was exactly 5 years ago today. Some things are worth hanging on to!

My interest in glass paining has recently revived and I decided to see how this worked alongside stamping. I used a sheet of heat embossable acetate which I dusted with an anti-static pad before stamping it with Versafine ink and heat embossing with black powder. I would normally use clear powder when embossing on acetate as even when it's been "anti-staticed" it can still show specks, and the cealr doesn't show up so much, but I wanted the heavy black look of the stained glass effect outlines, so I was extra thorough about removing specks before heating. I then painted it normally except that the embossed outlines aren't as deep as when you use outliner from a tube so I had to actually paint in each area rather than flooding them with colour.

When it was dry I trimmed the edges then used spray adhesive to attach it to a white card panel, matted this with red and then stamped an art-deco style sentiment to go with the Tiffany-esque look of the image.
