It's magic

Hi everyone,

Did you have a wonderful weekend too? Currently I'm in Barcelona, and fly back to the Netherlands tonight. I had a blast!



This week Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog has another fun challenge for you, a magical one. Be inspired by the impossible and show us your interpretation!



I think Crackle Paste is kind of magical. It's amazing how the crackles appear when it dries, what a wonderful effect. It was a struggle to get the crackle paste on the die cut Hugs, but after some attempts and determination I got it done! With some Gold Lamé Color Shine I added some magic sparkle, and it also made the crackles stand out more.



The background is coated with Gesso. With the Frag Flower stencil and some Distress Inks I applied lots of colors. Because the distress inks are on top of the gesso they react even more with water then usual. Love that effect too!
