Etchall Etched Frame

  Hi everyone, I've used EtchallⓇ etching creme on the glass for this frame.


It is difficult to stamp directly on glass because it smears.  But using etchallⓇ etching creme on the glass first gives the glass "teeth" so you can stamp on it without smearing.


Begin by covering the glass with a liberal amount of etching creme.
Allow it to sit on the glass for approximately 15 minutes.
Since the creme is reusable, after 15 minutes, scrape it off and put it back in it's original container.  The creme is now available for your next projects.

Rinse off the glass and dry.


I used a Fairy Hugs stamp - Songs of Love - stamping it in black ink on the glass.
Use even pressure over the stamp.
Remove the stamp and this amazing look appears.


Replace the glass in the frame and display.

Think of all the amazing phrases you can place inside a frame.

Thanks for stopping by.
