Glass Etching and monogrammed frames

Tried my hand at glass etching this evening.  On 2 glasses i cut stencils out of vinyl with my cameo and covered the rest of the glass in masking tape.  On the third one i tried peel off's and masked the rest of the glass to give a reverse effect.

This one worked quite well with only a little blurring at the edge.

This one was a disaster.  It was supposed to be cCc my Father in Law's initials but it blurred in too many places.

This is the reverse effect I was looking for but the etching is patchy so again I won't give it.

As you can see it didnt work well.  seeped into the edges and made them all blurry and not at all the crisp finish i was looking for.

I also tried a monogrammed picture frame for my Father in Law's 70th birthday.  I used his clan tartan for the background and put his initials in front of a flourish.

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out
