Everyone did such amazing work and truly left me inspired!
Thanks so much for reminding me of this technique. You used it so effectively, I just want to recreate what you did with the year of flowers collection. I always love your special style!!!
This looks beautiful, Ive done the embossing like that before but never cracked it. thank you so much . Love all the flowers.
Heather, thanks for sharing the cracked embossing technique and your beautiful cards. I am going to have to try it.
Beee…U…T…Full! As always!
My first thought was I wouldn’t like this look, but after watching it Heather, I can not wait to try it. I was sold when you added the tea dye to the cracks. That is such a great idea. This was a very interesting tutorial.
This was wonderful to watch and I just got my UTEE powder and melting pot. Never would have figured out you can just use a heat gun. Thank you for expanding my horizons even more!
GORGOUS!!Love it!
Which stamps did you use at the background of the cracked image?
And which Copics for the flowers?
The coloring is so superb..LOVE it!
Whenn I get my stamps this will be the first thing I will make.(they are in Dutch customs)
Very, very pretty a new technique for me, thank you so much.
Great project…can’t wait to try it! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
It’s been years since I used this technique. Your cards are just gorgeous, and like Suzanne, I want to recreate these just like yours!
Wonderful design using the mini year of the flowers and the cracking technique sets it off beautifully. Good job Heather!
does anyone know if you can use regular embossing powder with more layers, or is it necessary to use UTEE
I just love these Monday lessons!
Thank you for sharing, it was awesome!
so what would happen if I used the regular embossing powder… would it work??? or is it not as clear… but thanks for sharing, that’s so awesome…
thanks : Claudia W.
It’s a great technique and beautiful cards! Thank you for sharing with us!:-)
Terrific stuff! This is the type of stuff that should be spread around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Awesome!!
