Description:

Stamp image on ATC. Now is a good time to color the image if you want but use something that won't smear or rub off. Cover the entire ATC with Versamark & then Glassy Glaze (I used Ultra Thick Embossing Powder). Tap off powder & heat with heat gun. Quickly add more powder or GG & heat again. Do this a total of 3 times. You may need to add more Versamark before each layer for better coverage. Put your covered ATC in the freezer for at least 15 min. I have better luck if I leave it in for 2 hours. Remove & bend the ATC to crack. You should not have to bend the ATC in 1/2 to achieve the cracks. I usually end up with 4 or 5 good cracks.

I like the idea of running it through a crimper (if you have one, which I do)! I guess you wouldn't do this, if you put it in the freezer, which the tutorial didn't mention. Maybe I'll try both ways :)

I gave my crimper away years ago because I wasn't using it. I will be interested to know if it works. I don't know how well the Versamark & Glaze or powder would work. Interesting idea.

Me and my big mouth - can I find it? Guess I should have given it away, too :)
