It's A Man's World~Cracked Glass

I made this card for Impression Obsession's It's a Man's World Challenge  using SCS Sketch Layout 396.  This Doctor's Bag H1831 image is perfect for the Cracked Glass Technique.  It was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia and colored with Copics.  I hand wrote "Hugs & Love" on the prescription with a Vintage Photo Distress Ink Marker.  I splattered a little bit of watered down white acylic pain in the ink bottle area with a toothbrush.  Next I cover the image with Tsukeniko Versamark and embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder, TWICE.  I  over distressed the image to make it look really old by bending and cracking it a little more than normally I would for cracked glass.  Then I rubbed my Vintage Photo Ink Pad directly over the image( much more than I normally would) and rubbing it with paper towel to get the excess ink off. It doesn't show very well in the photo but I stamped the background panel with CAC-Script CC-050 in Vintage Photo and sponged the edges too.  I to some Hemp Twine and sponges it with Vintage Photo as well to coordinate it with the rest of the card.  I tried to add embellishments but it all seem just to much when the image speaks for itself.
