Happy Halloween!
First I'd like to wish my sister, Jennifer....a VERY Happy Birthday! Being born on Halloween wasn't the best thing when you were a kid...lol
Jen...I hope you have a wonderful 34th???
I have a card to share with you from yesterday's Ways To Use It Challenge of Get Crackin'
Since I don't own any crackle paints I decided to go the Cracked Glass route.
This Thomas Kinkade image seemed perfect!
I first stamped the image on Very Vanilla with Choc Chip ink before cutting it out with my Top Note Die. I then used some Versamark and 4 layers of Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. It was popped in the freezer for a bit and then I bent the paper to get the little cracks. It was a little warped so I cut another piece of choc chip cs with the top note and glued it to the back for stability. I think the rest is straight forward.
I think it turned out wonderfully. What do you think?
Stamps: Thomas Kinkade; Cardstock: Choc Chip, Very Vanilla and Bella Rose DP; Inks: Choc Chip and VersaMark; Accessories: Top Note Die, UTEE, Choc Satin Ribbon, Vanilla Grosgrain, Linen Thread, DimensionalsI'm LOVING these snowman from MFT!! I think my favourite colouring is with Copics on Shimmery White cardstock. This was for the MFT sketch #54 on SCS.
Stamps: MFT A Scarf for Three; Cardstock: Tangerine, Bashful Blue, Shimmery White and Frosty Days DP; Inks: Adirondack Black; Accessories: Copics, Circle Nesties, Heidi Swapp Ghost Snowflake, Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Very cute Snowmen, but your Thomas Kinkade card is stunning!! LOVE IT!!!
OMGosh! The Kincade card is gorgeous. I've been afraid to get any of his stamps for fear that I couldn't color them properly. You just proved that monochrome is the way to go. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
OMG, DAWN! That Thomas Kinkade is over-the-top GORGEOUS! I love that image behind the cracked glass techinque. {whistling!!}
Dawn, your first card is incredibly gorgeous! I love that you cut the image with the top note die!
Your second card is super cute. I love the colors you chose, the coloring....beautiful!
Hugs and smiles
Cracking with the UTEE is one of my favorite techniques. What left me with a dropped jaw though, was your keen use of the Thomas Kincaid stamp and the sepia colors. I've been coveting a Thomas Kincaid stamp but have been too intimidated to buy one. I believe your artwork just cured me of that. You're the best!
Look out CHF...there's some SUPER talent here! By far, one of the best uses of the Thomas Kinkade stamps! I have never tried the cracked glass effect, but today's the day. This seems very dfferent from your usual color/style designs (which I LOVE), but it once again shows how super talented you are!
Beautiful Dawn, I love both cards. Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful cracked glass..Love your snowman card too. Happy Halloween!
You made a Beautiful Thomas Kinkade card. I love the "cracked" element and the freezer idea.
that first card is totally stunning Dawn, love how you used the top note die!! And, your little snowmen are adorable!!! Happy Halloween to you! *STAMPIN HUGS* ALex
Oh my Dawn, both these cards are super but, I sure love, love the Thomas Kincade one, it turned out absolutely stunning, I haven't done that technique in ages!
Gorgeous!!!
Both cards are great but I really love the Crackle one!!!
Dawn, as always your work is stunning. I love the Thomas Kinkade and love that although it is very different from your usual style or technique, you're not afraid to try it and by doing so inspire others like me to do so as well. Like many of the others who have commented before me, I may just have to order a Thomas Kinkade stamp....and the snowman stamp set, and the top note die, etc. etc. etc.
Awesome work Dawn, I love them both!!
they're both fabulous, but the Kincade one has to be my fav! Absolutely beautiful cut out with the top note die!
Awesome card! I don't have any of the TK stamps but I am definitely going to look through my stamp collection to see if I can find a similarly made stamp so I can try this too, love it! Happy Halloween!
Oh my goodness, the TK one if absolutely goreous!! Love it with the top note die, awesome!! Love the snowmen too...will have to get out my Shimmery paper and give it a whirl!! Happy Halloween!! Kelly
