Cracklin’ Rose Tag by Fliss Goodwin
00:00
Hi
there, I’m very pleased to be able to show you my first creation with That’s
Crafty’s own brand of stamps designed by our very own Donna Gray. I know you’ll
love the images as they’re true to Donna’s quirky style and of course, they
stamp beautifully too!
Ingredients:
Scrap
of Ribbon
Recipe:
First
give the tag a coat of gesso and when this has dried follow up with a coat of
the sap green fluid acrylic paint. This will be the undercoat for the crackle
paint so it needs to be quite dark.
Now
for the crackle coat. I wanted a pale green to contrast with my rose so I mixed
a little of the green gold fluid acrylic into the crackle paint having put a
blob on a ceramic plate. I then brushed the paint on quite thickly until the
tag was covered. It isn’t necessary to over-work it as it gives great texture
if you treat it like rough icing!
You
now have to leave it to dry, preferably overnight. This is what I did and next
morning was completely stunned by the amount of crackle on my tag. If you
haven’t yet tried the DecoArt crackle paint I can highly recommend it as it
gives the most amazing crackle I’ve ever seen! Here’s a close-up to show you
what I mean.
Stamp
the rose and leaf on stamping card with the dark green ink and heat emboss with
the clear powder. Paint with the iridescent red and green paints. This gives a
lovely sheen to the images. Cut them both out and add to the tag with foam
tape.
To
finish, stamp the text on a scrap of card with the green ink and clear emboss
as before. Trim with scissors to a panel with curved edges and colour with
paint or ink – I used a pearly paint from my stash. Tie some ribbon through the
top and you’re done.
We
have a new challenge for you today at That’s Crafty! Challenge Blog so don’t
