I was in need of some 'masculine' type 'thinking of you' and sympathy cards and wanted to try the cracked glass technique. I never have had great luck with this technique and wasn't too impressed with how these turned out either - oh well!
On these two cards I rubbed versamark on the stamped images and embossed with a few coats of SU's glassy glaze for the one on the right and UTEE powder for the card on the left. The colors didn't bleed like the ones I did with Inkssentials Crackle accents, so I was a little happier with these results.
Back to the drawing board with this technique, I guess. I wish I could get the cracked glass to work out as beautifully as many of you have here on SCS... Try, try again - someday! LOL!
Thanks for taking a closer look!

I think they turned out great! I like the richness of the colors and the layout. I will have to try adding the glossy coats over the cracked glass. I am always looking for a more masculine card.
TFS.
