Christmas Eve - FOSTV52

Hello and Happy Christmas to all of you and your families.

Today we have another FOSTV challenge and if you find a few spare minutes over the festive period then we would love you to play along.  Our challenge is to make a card or project that shows the Cracked Glass technique - you can find a tutorial here.

I should have used less embossing powder on my first card, which I have described as Broken Ice.  I first used some sparkly powder and then 3 layers of UTEE which is too much so it cracked a lot, had to be re-heated but still cracked too much!  The stamp set I have used for the image is called Ice and Snow - this is also the set one person will win as part of this challenge.



My second card uses one layer of UTEE and then some fine embossing powder - two or three layers.  I prefer this one and the vintage look it has.


Thanks for checking in today and enjoy some family time over Christmas.  God bless.

  1. Janine, I actually like BOTH! I think the extra "broken ice" looks perfect with this wintery card! I also love the vintage look you achieved with the rose and the punched border is lovely!
