OK, two questions. How did you do the crackle finish and how did you make the snowflakes irridescent like that on the black paper on the "let it snow" cards?
PS- I think you have yourself a new fan! I've really enjoyed looking at your cards and wish I lived close to you so that I could get some lessons! Guess I'll just keep coming back for inspiration! Thank you for your posts!
One more thing - I just love all your Christmas cards! I make my Christmas cards every year and have for the past 5 years I think. It's fun and yet a challenge at the same time. I always end up making more than I planned starting out, but so far they've turned out really good. I may have to borrow some ideas for this year!
Janelle - thanks for the encouragement! :-) To answer your questions... the crackle finish is done by using enamel embossing powder. You stamp over the complete image using a Versamark stamp pad, apply the embossing powder, heat it, and repeat the process like 4 times! After the last heat application, you put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. Take it out, and bend it, and the enamel will crack. The second question... just use an embossing ink pad, and use iridescent embossing powder. If you have any more in depth questions about how-to do these, you can always just e-mail me at crhbmitchellfam@juno.com.
