Live, Laugh, Love


**This post is part of the Crackle Medium promotion fortnight. Remember to leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway.**
 
Good morning, I hope everyone's have a nice weekend. Here's another of my crackle medium samples. For an explanation of crackle mediums, see my post from Tuesday.

 
 
 My background was a square of Imagination Crafts' Damask Swirl satin card, which I painted with MS Pollen acrylic paint after the crackle medium was dry...........

 
 
When that layer was dry I brushed it with thin layers of Imagination Crafts' Bronze Brocade Silkies, first with a damp paintbrush, then with a dry brush.......... 

 
 
 I applied MS Beetle Black paint with a stencil brush through the TCW Live, Love, Laugh 6x6 stencil.............

 


 
I matted the top layer onto black card, then onto a 7x7 white card blank & finished with a few adhesive gems.

  4. The crackle effect is quite different on that card, pays to try it on different materials but the effect is always great!
