Stamp (Hero Arts) – Antique Engravings
Because I really enjoyed using the cracked glass technique the other day on the card here, I decided to use it again a little bit on this card. I applied distress ink (spiced marmalade, broken china or walnut stain) to circles of white card, spritzed lightly with water and then stamped with the butterfly or dragonfly.

Then I clear embossed the circles. In the case of the orange circles I clear embossed them four more times (really need to find a shop here with UTEE!) and cracked them. To finish I just added some gems. The butterfly\dragonfly circles are added to the card using different heights of adhesive foam pads.
Hope you are all having a brilliant weekend!
Hi Heather, I am beginning to catch up with my blogging friends, its so good to be back online I really missed my creative time over the past few weeks.
ReplyDeleteWow this card is stunning, you have really got the cracked glass technique mastered, a while ago I tried it myself but the results were really disappointing but your card is so beautiful!!
