I haven't tried yet, so maybe my question isn't even one I need to ask, but I was wondering if the embossing powder as it turns "liquid" doesn't kind of come off of your paper around all of the edges? If it does, what do you do to keep it on so that you can keep layering and getting it thicker? I only have regular clear ep right now. I'll have to get some of the UTEE, but wanted to find out how to do it right before I go and mess it up!

You don't have to do anything special because it doesn't run off, mine didn't anyway. Personally I would get a coupon and head out to the craft store for UTEE because it took me about eight coats of the regular and only two of the ultra thick.
I find it easier to just pour it over the melted EP rather than stamp with Versa Mark again because it tends to slid. But you have to work very fast and if the stamped area is big it'll be very difficult this way. Just remember don't dump the EP with the heat gun on or it'll be all over your work space.
Good luck with the technique and be sure to post a link here after you try it.

thanks!!!! unfortunately no matter where i get the UTEE i'll have to order it. we only have Wal-Mart here :( i'll post after i do it. i think i'll try with regular clear just to play around
Here's mine. I've been wanting to try this technique for a while. I do need some feedback--I'm not totally satisfied with it and I would like to do this for my stamp camp group.
I bought this wedding dress stamp and greeting many months ago and this is the first time I've used it. I love the way the Twinkling H2O's still twinkle under the ultra thick embossing powder. Thanks for the challenge!
This is my first Technique Challenge, and I guess I am behind the times, because I picked Cracked Glass. I just Hope I am doing all of this right.
Thanks for looking.

Here's my first attempt at Cracked Glass; didn't have UTEE, but used regular embossing powder in a couple layers; wondered if I should have frozen it longer to get better/more cracks?? or, the UTEE would have done the trick. Lattelovinm
I have wanted to try cracked glass for so long - I think that I have had the UTEE for over a year!! Beth - I love how you used French Script in your example - so I used it in mine too:
I did one!
