Keep Christmas...

Cracked glass technique with the candle proves to be a winning combination. The designer paper is from Brocade Background, while the Plaid background stamp is inked in Ruby Red and stamped on Ruby Red card stock.

The image was colored in with Earth Elements watercolor crayons and an aqua painter on Confetti Cream card stock.

Once the image is colored, ink the entire image with a VersaMark pad then add Glassy Glaze embossing powder. Repeat the VersaMark ink and powder a few more times to build up a nice clear coat, then bend the image when it cools to make the cracks.

Trivia: After "A Christmas Carol," Charles Dickens wrote several other Christmas stories, one each year, but none was as successful as the original. (Source: www.corsinet.com/braincandy/xmastrivia.html)
