Hi everyone, well here is my entry into the March challenge over on Sugar Bowl Extra. The technique to use this month is cracked glass, basically emboss your image 3 times with clear embossing powder, freeze for about half an hour, remove from freeze then break to form the "cracks". As you can expect my daughter thought I had lost all sense when she seen me putting this image into the freezer, needless to say she enjoyed it when she broke it all for me.
As I don't have any distress ink pads, I used my colour box chalk and inked the edges before embossing, then after cracking the image used a cotton ball and gently rubbed some more chalk into the cracks to emphasis them slightly, this seemed to have the same aging effect that I was after.
Materials Used:
Image - Sweet & Sassy by Elisabeth Bell
Colours - Copic sketch markers
Ink - Colour box chalk yellow
Embossing Folder - D'vine Swirl by Cuttlebug
Papers - DCWV Text Stack
Ribbons - American Crafts
Flowers - Prima
Everything else from my ever growing stash!!!!
