The Last Christmas Card

Good morning.  I know, a Christmas card.  In my defence though, I was cleaning up my table so that I could create and this project was sitting there waiting to be finished.  So I thought I'd take the quick and easy route so that I could get a post up quickly.  I used the cracked glass technique on this one.  The snowman focal image as you can see from the photo looks like it is broken glass.  How did I do this you ask?  Well, I stamped my image on white cardstock in Cherry Cobbler ink, then distressed it with Soft Suede ink.  I then covered the entire surface of the cardstock with Versamark ink and then covered it with Glassy Glaze enamel, heat embossed it and repeated the process.  I added more Versamark, more Glassy Glaze enamel and then re-heated.  I quickly ran my piece of cardstock to the freezer and let it "cool off".  After a bit in the freezer I took it out and then cracked the surface and distressed by sponging on more Soft Suede ink.

I still have so much laundry to do, Christmas trees and decorations to take down and a child to pay attention to today.  I have a slight headache thinking about all the stuff to do.  But it will all be worth it when I get to sit down to a yummy lasagna dinner tonight.  Have a super day!  E
