Purchase art glass from a stained glass supply store, an 8x10" piece will work just fine. The store can cut the glass for you, and tape the edges too. Spectrum Glass makes a wide variety of clear textured art glass that you can choose from. My favorites are Granite, Hammered and Artique.
Make an 8x10" print and place it under the glass. In the photo above, I placed the glass directly on top of the print. You can raise the glass slightly for a different effect. Photograph the print through the glass, that's all there is too it! I also shot the flowers directly through the glass for a more abstract look. Overcast days cut down on reflections, a great rainy day activity.
