I was inspired by the Idea-ology shattered transparencies for this technique. Their sheets of shattered glass however didn't suit ATCs as the holes/cracks were in the wrong place, so I created my own using acetate. I found this technique worked best using an image that had been cut out from its background and love the creepy girls that I had in my stash of images. Your background choice is important too as it can't be too light or too busy a pattern otherwise you lose the white cracks on the acetate. Attaching the acetate was no problem with the Tiny Attacher (mini stapler) and I always colour my mini staples with a Sharpie or coloured alcohol marker to suit the background. Most people don't even notice the staples in the corners but they become part of the design element and I'm happy with them showing.
