......broken glass images..


...another tri fold card. The image is overcoated with Utee again,one of my favorite techniques.Here I dropped some magic pearl powder in the Utee and watched it move around on the image.
Excess dripss were saved and later glued on to different parts of the card.
The person who recieved  it was amazed at all the colors that bounced around when the sun hit it.
After I melted the main image the first time,I placed another image right over top.Then  removed them from each other,leaving me with two Utee covered images. Definateley different.After it dried I bend the images to make them crack to give them some grit and character. The messing around with goup can suck up time but is alway's an great time. ....enjoy the day.

..funky "tri fold card"...


..sorry for the harsh colors of the photo...
...it's very pretty in real life.. this was my first tri fold card ever..so super easy,yet it looks complicated.. if it takes more then three minutes for you to do the back ground, then I will eat my shoes.. however, the decorating is another story.. you can take as long as you have creativity in you.. if that makes any sense...
...the main stamped image was sunk into melten jutie powder, identical to the last post...the organgish red paper behind it, was cut from a sheet of paper, which was  dyed, with beet juice, left over from canning the fall harvest, that went into our freezer..
...as were all the scrappy bits that are stamped on throughout the rest of the card... i.e. I'm happy for you,original and memo...embelished with martha ribbon and zip da doe, it's done....here is a link to a tutorial on how to do it.. have fun....
