THANKS TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO ENCOURAGED ME AFTER THE DISASTER OF THIS MORNINGS FIRST ATTEMPT AT THIS CRACKED GLASS THING. BECAUSE OF YOU AND WHAT EVER IT IS IN ME THAT JUST COULDN'T LET IT GO, I HAD TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. THIS ONE IS MUCH BETTER I THINK AND THOSE FUNNY SHINY BLOBS IN THE PICTURE AREN'T REALLY THERE IRL. ANYWAY, HERE IS MY 2ND ATTEMP AT TLC140. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Oh it's BEAUTIFUL! I love how the flowers just POP this time! A lighter background always works best for me too! I'm glad you didn't give up and gave it another go!!! This technique makes such pretty cards!

Whoohoo!! Way to go, Mel!! I love #2, also!! This is gorgeous with the beautiful pink roses and the awesome colors and layers!! Your cracked glass is just perfect!! Thanks for the inspiration...I may have to give it a try. Thank you for the beautiful card you sent me...I was sooo excited when I saw the lavender envelope with the Mesa, Arizona address!!!!You made my day, tfs!! I uploaded it but my scanner doesn't do it justice. Can't wait to take it to work with me tomorrow...gotta show the girls what a real artist's work looks like!!

Oh Mel - I am glad you did try a second , though you didn't need to - but this IS Gorgeous! The cracked glass is perfect and the colours in behind show through perfectly!!! Gorgeously coloured image! I've got the flu with a fever etc or I'd be playing. For now , just a little gallery gazing! I'm scaring my poor dog with my coughing! ;)

Well, Mel, I'd say you get an A+ - I see a big improvement over the first - although the first was very pretty too! I think you aced this technique - way to go and kudos for not being a quitter!
