Wow, what great tags this year, don't you think? I'm blown away by them! This is my first year, but I looked at the previous years of course. And this year is definitely the best! I'm learning so much and I'm having so much fun! The tag of day 4 is also totally awesome!
I have a few colors of distress stains (but I do have picket fence of course), so I mainly worked with ink and water, unfortunately then the ink already reacted with the water, so I couldn't make the drops.
Then the crackle paint. I don't know what I'm doing wrong (maybe it's the paper...), but I can not get an thick even layer on it. And if I put more on it, it just goes to the middle ... When it began to crackle I used my heat gun to speed up to process, and suddenly a big bubble came out of it! Huh? Then I had trouble with the stains and the coloring ... Ultimately, it ended up in the trash. Time for a new plan. This time I used a clear sheet and made it white with a paint dabber. And on top, I put glossy accents. No crackle effect, but a nice shiny effect:). It took forever for it to dry!!
The result for day 4:
The materials:
- Manila tag
- Clear sheet
- Embossing folder
- Paint Dabber: pearl, snow cap
- Charms
- Vintage tinsel, mesh, ribbon
- Stamps Bo Bunny, Tim Holtz
- Distress stains: Picket Fence
- Distress Ink: weathered wood, tumbled glass, broken china, shabby shutters, frayed burlap
- Glossy accents
- Buttons
Thanks so much for stopping by, hope to see you tomorrow!

This is my first year also and it won't be the last. Too much fun and what a great learning experience! Love your background, so elegant!
Hi Sandra,
I have never got on with crackle paint either, it never crackles for me! I think your techniques are brilliant, I love the look of your tags and the shiny embossing on this really adds dimension. Hugs, Teresa x
