Today’s Technique Challenge
Today’s SplitCoastStampers technique challenge was to make a cracked glass effect using clear embossing powder. This is a fun one to play with!
To do this technique, take your image and ink the entire piece with Versamark ink. Then coat it and heat emboss with three or more layers of clear embossing powder (the thicker powder works better), re-inking it between layers with Versamark if necessary for the powder to stick.
After the piece cools, bend it slightly to achieve the cracked effect. You can rub a light ink into the cracks to intensify the effect if you’d like.
Here are two cards that I just made using this technique:
This technique is addictive – make sure you have LOTS of clear embossing powder and lots of time on your hands before you try! 🙂
