Cracked Glass Thank You Card



I wanted to try a technique called "Cracked Glass" that I read about at Krafting Kreations.
I used Stampin’ Up’s “Sense of Time” stamp set and stamped the clock with crumb cake ink onto vanilla cardstock and then cut it out.



Then I stamped versamark onto the image…



Added clear emboss powder and took the heat gun to it…





See how it is bumpy? So I versamarked and embossed 3 more times…



Now look how shiny and smooth it is….



Then I put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes, and bent it so it cracked



I sponged a little crumb cake ink very very lightly over it to fill in the cracks a bit to distress it some…



Don’t use black or apply it heavy….no good :(!!...



I am happy with the results and I think it is a neat technique that has endless possibilities...What do you think?
