Embossing: Finishing the Stained Glass Technique

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and on behalf of Expert Village, we’re continuing in our series of tips and techniques for using embossing in card making. In this segment, we will continue with making the stained glass image that we had before. So here is the piece that was stamped and chalked that we have put a good 6-7 layers of clear embossing powder on. Now as it it’s a lovely image. It’s added some clear some gloss to it, then you can leave it just how it is. One thing that’s very popular these days in the stained glass image is adding some cracking to it. Once you have several layers on here, and once it’s been chilled. This one is still a little bit warm. Ideally, you want to go ahead and even stick it in your freezer for a couple of minutes so it gets nice and hard. At that point, what you want to do is just kind of bend it and crack it. You can maybe hear the cracking. Mine’s still a little warm, it doesn’t want to crack. But as you crack, you will add lines such as broken glass, creating a stained glass effect. There we go. You can hear that cracking just as a pane of glass will be cracking. It kind of adds just a rough fun dimension. At this point, you can just add your adhesive to the back, stick it on your card, and then we have a fun embossed project using the stained glass system. Again, 6 or 7 coats of clear embossing powder. Let is cool, even stick it in your freezer for a few minutes, and then just crack it open like you would a piece of glass.
