Bits of Blue Crackle


**This is the final post of the Crackle Medium promotion fortnight. Remember to leave a comment by midnight tonight to be entered in the giveaway.**
 
Good morning, how's your weekend so far? Good, I hope. Today, I'd like to show you a card I made using just two small pieces of crackled card............
 
(If you missed my explanation of crackle medium you can find it HERE)

 
 
The flower & the circle were cut from a piece of patterned card, which I'd crackled with
Crackle Medium & painted with Martha Stewart Sea Lavender acrylic paint.........
 
I stamped it with Jet Black Stazon ink, using the script stamp from the Hobby Art
Decorative Backgrounds stamp set. I didn't want a clear result, so I didn't apply a lot of ink to the stamp & I didn't put much pressure on it while stamping.....
 
 
 
I made a vellum tag & glued a button to it with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue...........
 
 
 
 
I mixed a little Bronze Brocade Silkies with water & splattered it onto a 7x7 card blank........

 
 
The Woodware Clear Magic mini flower was stamped with embossing ink & heat set with bright white EP.........
 
 
 
I glued a leftover piece of Anna Marie Designs dottie card near the top of the card & used a mini stapler to attach the baker's twine to it, then I finished the card with a punched out strip of vellum, some adhesive pearls & a Craftwork Cards greeting..........

  1. Love the lightness of touch in this one, every little detail - vellum, splatter, staples- giving lots of interest in a fairly CAS card.
