Thinking Inking - Crackle Distress

Jennifer McGuire has been hosting videos and classes on 2 Pea's using all different types of Ranger Inking projects. The videos can all be found here... http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=list&forum_id=52.

This weeks class is about crackle paint. I don't have any but I have a crackle finish which I used in place of the crackle paint.

I combined this with a vacation/travel challenge on the Hero Arts Blog this week. I only have one stamp for Hero Arts which is a travel type of stamp so I used that to create my tag.

Tag Recipe:

1. Smear multiple colors of acryclic dabbers on a piece of acetate.
2. Use a makeup sponge mix parts of the color together (this is in one of the videos Jennifer has up on 2 Peas)
3. Smear on white cardstock to create a background.
4. Let that dry and then stamp the image onto the paint background using a pigment ink.
5. Clear emboss the stamped image.
6. Layer on the crackle gloss finish. I put it on and then smeared it around with another makeup sponge. I put two layers on.

The butterfly is made from grunge paper and I applied the same finish but with a really thick layer and attempted to dry it using the heat gun. It didn't crackle but gave it a beautiful glossy finish. :)

The background of the card is made from distress inks smeared onto acetate and spritzed with water until they became very watery.

Everything else is a combination of stamping with brown pigment ink and embossing with gold embossing powders.
