I was browsing the CraftWorld website a couple of weeks ago and came across a call for digital cut file testers. On a whim I applied and imagine my delight when they sent me a bunch of files to try out!
There are 9 files in the Stained Glass Collection consisting of a mix of traditional stained glass imagery as well as some landscapes and florals. For the first card that I made, I used the Rose Buds set.
- First of all I imported the SVG into a graphics program and adjusted the line colour so that it was very faint.
- Then I printed that out to use as a painting guide. I used Derwent Inktense pencils and a water brush to colour in most of the elements.
- I cut the file (being sure to keep the same dimensions* as the printed version) from black card and then glued that on top of the coloured image and put it onto a card blank.
- To finish the card I added some gold gems and a sentiment strip, which I popped up with foam tape.
*For this card the SVG had width of 9cm. The card blank was 10 x 16cm.
Originally a set of metal dies, which are no longer available to buy, the designs have been resurrected as SVG cut files. Get the full set from CraftWorld.
