Today's card I made for Everybody Art Challenge # 23 The theme this week was shabby. While I don't make a lot of shabby cards ( I usually prefer clean designs) I do love the look of vintage cards.
Now to my card. I used the cracked glass technique on the main image. You can find the tutorial here if you would like to try it. I had to use regular clear embossing powder since I don't have any UTEE so my cracked glass didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to.
For this challenge I had to get out my sewing machine from under my stamp desk, it was collecting dust. Please excuse the crooked stitching, but I guess it fits well with the "shabby" challenge. LOL.
