I am blown away by this card

It's so amazing & yet so easy! Brayering was the technique my fabulous upline Jacque taught at class last night. She took her inspiration from Michele Zindorf (of course).

Stamp sets: Sense of Time, Thoughts & Prayers
Ink: Peach Parfait, Cajun Craze, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke, Craft Whisper White, Basic Black
Paper: Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Whisper White
Other: Marina Mist grosgrain ribbon, black embossing powder, Signo White gel pen, Stampin' Pastels, brayer, sponge

Cracked glass

I learnt this technique at my upline Jacque's class several months ago & just loved it.  This is the card I created in her class using Thoughts & Prayers stamp set:

As I don't own this set I had to improvise with another set & chose the very versatile Bird on a Branch - I just love the writing style of Thinking of You which comes with this set; which is only $39.95 for 5 stamps - phenomenal value!

Stamp set: Bird on a Branch (or Thoughts & Prayers)
Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, Versamark
Paper: Kraft, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White, Urban Oasis DSP
Other: Gold Brads, 5/8" Bravo Burgundy grosgrain ribbon, clear EP, sponge

To crack the "glass" you need to emboss the image at least 4 times with clear embossing powder, making sure that each layer is totally melted. Then freeze for ~20 minutes. The paper curls in the freezer but straightening it out cracks will appear, sponge into the cracks with mellow moss to emphasise them. You do use a lot of EP with this technique we used a pot creating 10 cards but we all agreed very pretty!

Happy KReatin'
