Oh, Alice Ch. 23 Windows & Broken Glass

Chapter 24 - Windows and Broken Glass

`Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?'

`Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!' (He pronounced it `arrum.')

`An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole window!'

`Sure, it does, yer honour: but it's an arm for all that.'

`Well, it's got no business there, at any rate: go and take it away!'

There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only hear whispers now and then; such as, `Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at all!' `Do as I tell you, you coward!' and at last she spread out her hand again, and made another snatch in the air. This time there were TWO little shrieks, and more sounds of broken glass. `What a number of cucumber-frames there must be!' thought Alice. `I wonder what they'll do next! As for pulling me out of the window, I only wish they COULD! I'm sure I don't want to stay in here any longer!'

Hello friends...it's CRYSTAL CLEAR that today you're all joining us for a fabulous challenge here at Oh, Alice! We have all sorts of lovely techniques for you to try today!

Your mission today with Oh, Alice, should you choose to accept it, is to try a technique using cracked glass, crystal effects (or glossy accents), or a window stamp/technique. There are TONS of possibilities with today's challenge and we are SO ready to see all of the fabulous creations you enter!

For my card today I used the fastest broken glass technique with Ranger's Distress Pain in Rock Candy. I put on one layer, dried it with a heat tool (not too much, you don't want to melt it) and added another thick layer. The cracks are very teeny, so they barely show up in the pic. I added some Tea Dye Distress ink for a vintage look. Not as good as when you do the longer cracked glass versions, but if you want fast and easy, this is it. Just be sure that it is completely dry before you flip it over to add adhesive...otherwise any gooey bits will stick and come off...you can see at the top where I nearly scalped poor Alice. ;o)
