Technique of the Week--Glassy Glaze Enamel

In order to really make me keep doing something on a consistent basis, I decided to start featuring a "technique of the week" on this blog. The post will highlight ways to use a specific product or paper crafting technique. If you have a specific technique or product that you would like to learn more about, let me know in a comment and I will feature it on an upcoming post.

Glassy Glaze Enamel is a very thick embossing powder. I love embossing things, and this glaze is useful for creating a thick, solid glaze over your project.

After covering your entire paper with 2 layers of enamel, put the paper in the freezer for a minute and bend the paper to crack the glaze, creating a cracked glass effect:
