And here's one that I made a while ago. It's a fun technique because you just keep adding more UTEE, put it in the freezer for about 2 minutes and then gently bend the card.

The trick is to do many layers of embossing powder. I've got some ultra thick (UTE) that works great, but I've also done it with regular embossing powder. Squish your VersaMark pad all over your image, sprinkle with embossing powder, shake off the excess, heat and do that about 4 or 5 times. Then just put the image in the freezer and then bend it to make it crack. Good luck! This is one of my favorite techniques!

Subscribing because I too have been wondering about this technique. TFS now I have to buy that UTEE as well as prismas, and the list keeps growing and growing........growing.......growing!!!

Funny that you would include this particular card... it's one of the ones I saw that caught my eye along with other beautiful floral card on the gallery.
