'Cracked Glass' Effect


As you know I just love my copic markers. I have several images in a box that I have coloured in & they are just waiting to find a card.

While looking at other blogs, I found the technique for Cracked Glass. I must admit that in all my years of stamping, I have tried to not to let this effect happen, however now I love it. The instructions can be found over at the Club Anya blog.

Hopefully you can see the 'Cracked Glass' effect.

Thanks for stopping by.
