Hello Lovelies! I've admired so many stained glass windows wherever I travel and I really wanted to have a try at coloring the Stained Glass Christmas Window Set from Simon Says Stamp. I included a few of my favorites in this post and though mine may not hold a candle to these beauties, I still wanted to make it special in some way.
That's how I ended up deciding to color on vellum. Gold embossing also sparkles beautifully on this translucent paper and outlines the "glass" artwork beautifully.
