Here is one of the cards we made for my Stampin' Splurge class last night. The girls had been asking for Crystal Effects techniques and this is one that I taught them.
I call this technique Glittered Stained Glass, since I have no idea what the real name is ... LOL. The way you add the glitter ends up looking like stained glass on the card, BUT it is so shimmery.
Would you like a tutorial, so you can start playing with the Crystal Effects that is sitting on your shelves? So very dusty ... yes, I can see them there!
This was the Easter card I made for y'all, hope you have a wonderful weekend. Have fun and happy stamping!!
I love your blog so much, and there are just some differences with others'. Hope there will be more wonderful things in your blog. Happy every day!

Besides just lovin' the card....this is one of my favorite photos of you. I like the blond- haired one to. Neat to find out that you are Mennonite.My husband and I went to Canada to go to a Mennonite Bible College and ended up in a Mennonite Church. Thoes two events changed our lives in a way that has been a real blessing. Unfortunatly the only Mennonite Church anywhere near us is in Seattle and is Russian speaking only. So now we go to a Calvary Chapel....another live changing event. Happy Easter
