Crackled Glass Tutorial for Be Inspired #73

Today's Challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge is to create a Crackled Glass embellishment to go on your card, layout, or altered item. I thought some might need a quick tutorial on how to make one, so here it is!
Gather together your supplies, including a stamped and colored image, clear embossing powder, a Versamark or embossing stamp pad, heat gun, and your project.
Now press your image into the Versamark or embossing stamp pad, and then coat with clear embossing powder. Heat with the heat gun until it melts. Repeat this process three or four times until you have a nice thick coating of "glass".

Now place the image in the freezer for a couple of minutes, and the gently roll it to crack the "glass"... you will hear it crackle. Isn't this pretty?!
Using applicator or cotton ball, rub ink into the cracks to achieve the desired look. (I've tried about 20 times, and blogger insists on posting this photo sideways, so I give up!)

And here is the finished embellishment on the layout. Some darker inks make a much bolder statement. Be sure to check out the other examples the Design Team has created over at Cuttlebug Challenge! WOW!
