This stamp is called Modern Frame – it’s from Avery Elle (no longer available). But I right away wanted to see if I could paint it look like it was made of glass crystal panels!

You could try it with soft rainbow colors – but I kept it neutral to let the flowers be the thing that “sings”!
For the sentiment – I didn’t want it centered. I tend not to like it when things are plopped in the middle, designwise. I stamped the Thank you off to the right…and drew in my own . . . . to fill in that space a little. I added an exclamation point too, which I immediately wished I hadn’t since I tucked it in weirdly. LOL!
The overall effect is so simple and elegant! I layered the panel on black cardstock, then popped it up onto a red card base. Lovely!

Wow Sandy, when you do it it looks so simple, painting this gorgeous christal.

LOVE this stamp and technique! It’s my current favorite. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
It’s amazing to me what you can do with a stamped image. I really like the strong contrast on your card. Now, I’m going to watch your video to see how your card was made.
Sandy , your is so beautiful the realism is fantastic.
