This one was done using Bravo Burgundy, Sage Shadow and Shimmery White. I decided to try something a little different with the 'cracked glass' this time though. I saw somewhere and for the life of me I cannot remember where... someone had added a layer of Irridescent Ice in between layers of the clear embossing powder for a little bit of sparkle in the cracked glass. I quite like the look of it. However, for some reason I ended up with some greasy marks on the right side. Not sure why but one thing I definitely learned today was DO NOT heat emboss on a plastic table without some kind of protective cover. I think I melted my table!! Oh well, live and learn, right?? As always I am thinkin' this needs something. I wanted to keep it simple and clean, but I am try another one with some sparkling snowflakes on the large Burgundy layer. What do you think? Or maybe just some silver ribbon with the burgundy ribbon? I have a question for anyone out there that has done this technique before...some of my cracks are quite deep and have lifted off the card stock. Should I reheat it to get it to stick down or maybe use a sealer of some kind?
Anyone wanting to try the Cracked Glass technique can find it here at Splitcoast Stampers...

It looks great, Trace!
I know why you have the "greasy" looking marks... if you flip over the piece you've embossed you'll probably find that there is embossing powder that has melted on the back of the piece... which caused it to go almost see-through.
I love how you've used the Cracked Glass technique with your snowman image. Great idea!
