This is one of my favorite techniques, especially to do on black or any dark colored cardstock...I learned this technique from Carol Heppners first article about it...and I have been a fan ever since...I do some things a bit different maybe, than Carol does...but I always give her credit for my learning this technique...Begin with Blue Painters Tape...then, de-tack the tape by sticking it a few times onto a non fuzzy type of fabric...I use my blue jeans, since thats what I always wear...
Begin, by creating a torn edge down one side of a length of the tape...
Then begin, tearing the rest of the tape into narrow strips...so that both edges are torn...you want this ragged edge for the shattered glass effect...
I used a small black cardstock tag for this project...this tag measures approx. 2 x 3...
Create an interest pattern using the torn tape pieces...I also like a solid border, so I tape my edges too...

Debbie, I love this technique! Do you mind if I "borrow" it for an online demo group I belong to...I'm the technique and online class coordinator, and I'm always looking for something fresh. I would not use your photos or words, just the technique.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
