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 15 min. Remove & bend the ATC to crack.

This is the first time I have used this thick embossing powder and I did what you suggested above. Is the whole card supposed to be cracked or is just spots and areas? On one of the cards I made some of the embossed area flaked off when I folded it. I tried to re-emboss it but ended up doing a different card instead.

It depends on how much you bend it. I have several cracks, maybe 4 to 6.

I made several of these ATC's because I was having fun. I left to go get groceries when I was done playing. As I was putting the new ice cream in the freezer there was my last 4 ATC's I had done. They cracked the easiest & best of all that I had made. So from now on, I am leaving them in the freezer for a couple hours.
