I saw this technique on the Carol Duval show and just had to try it. In fact, I order this set particularly to re-create this card. You will need some photos that you plan to toss - make sure they contain a lot of light and dark areas. Also, a permanent ink - StazOn would be a good choice. Then you just randomly stamp the photos, cut them into squares, triangles, rectangles. Run some paper through a Xyron or use a piece of sticker paper cut to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. I used an unsticky piece to plan my placement and then transferred to the sticky one. Leave about an 1/8" space between pieces and try not to touch the sticky paper. When they are all placed turn it over and trim off the pieces that extend past the edge. Then sprinkle black (or color of your choice) all over the top. I used my fingers to really rub it into the cracks. Then emboss with your heat tool. Be sure not to get too close or hold it over an area for too long because the photo paper can curl. I had a layer try to lift up, but after it was a little cool I pushed it back down and it seemed to stick back down just fine. I hope I remembered everything. If not let me know and I will answer any questions I can.
