Caught in Crystal Variation


There are various directions on the internet, 
for a technique called "Caught in Crystal".
That name is often given because it uses a SU product
called Crystal Effects (page 177 of the main catty).
It is an elegant, but very messy technique.


Steps:

1) Cut pieces of Glossy White card stock and Window Sheet
(p 160) that are the same size.

2. Place the piece of Glossy C/S on waxed paper.
Squirt Crystal Effects on to the piece of Glossy c/s.

3)  Place several small drops of reinker on the
Crystal Effects.   In the example above, I used
Primrose Petals, Delightful Daffodil and Pacific Point.

4) Spread the reinker around, just a little.

5) Press the Window Sheet piece down on the 
Crystal Effects/reinker mixture.

Note:  You can stamp on the Window Sheet with
Stazon ink prior to this step if desired.
 
6 Let dry, overnight if possible.  This is likely to be very wet

I stamped my sentiment from Lacy and Lovely
 on the c/s layer.  I also 
ran the bottom edge of the layer through the 
Delicate Designs Embossing Folder (p 188).
Assemble layers and Crystal Effects detail.
