So here they are:

An example for the stained glass effect using stickers on vellum and colouring in with jelly roll pens



That's some collection!
She could be employed fixing church windows.

Here's an idea I saw on Pinterest.

and another I saw on Paper Issues Facebook page.




Our winner for February is TRACEY BEER. 
We loved how she used buttons and paint to create the ombre effect.

Hoping to see your wonderful entries soon.


Inlinkz has changed their format so I hope uploading goes smoothly. Let me know if you experience trouble.

FEBRUARY Challenge

Our February challenge is sponsored by D-lish scraps who make all sorts of yummy goodies.



The challenge is inspired by this photo. This is the interior of Radio City Music Hall. I did a tour of it when I was in NY.


Your challenge is to Use Ombre. 


It doesn't have to be in these colours so long as it goes from light to darker in the same colour. If you aren't sure what it is check Pinterest as there are lots of ideas there.

Here's what our DT have made to inspire you.

It was published in a local scrapbooking magazine.
Another twist on the brick idea!
