Crackled Heart card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Crack it up".


This week is Valentine's Day and I was inspired by it while making this birthday card. First I started with the Grime stencil with Crackle Texture Paste. And then I used Crystal Sand Texture Paste a bit around the corners. This paste is very moist and difficult to apply, but I still have to find the first sand-like paste that is easy to apply. Often it's either too moist or too dry. It's just not sticking to the surface enough or not spreading the way I want... Maybe I just need to practice more, LOL!

 

After all of texture was dry, I started working with Liquid Acrylics. It's the first time that I've used these and I find them really cool, especially as the first layer of color, they are permanent when they dry up, but they behave like stains when they're still wet. After the first layers of Liquid Acrylics, I continued building up layers with Infusions and Shimmer Powder. I made a spray from the Carmine Liquid Acrylic, added Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls and sprayed it over the Faceted Heart Icut out of red cardstock. Then I darkened the edges with Distress Ink Black Soot and added some Shimmer Powder Solar Flare. As a final layer I used Rock Candy Distress Paint on the heart. That gave it a glossy crackled effect.

Do you realize there is a 12 word phrase you can say to your crush... that will induce deep emotions of love and impulsive attractiveness to you buried within his heart?

That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, adore and care for you with all his heart...

12 Words That Trigger A Man's Desire Instinct

This impulse is so hardwired into a man's mind that it will drive him to try harder than before to build your relationship stronger.

Matter of fact, triggering this powerful impulse is so binding to getting the best possible relationship with your man that as soon as you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

...You'll immediately notice him open his mind and soul for you in a way he never expressed before and he'll identify you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly interested him.
