Castles in the Air by Helen Chilton

I love these quirky castles by Katzelkraft - they look as if they've come from a fairy tale.

I'm using a 6x6 panel here and a plastic card to scrape on the paint.

Add some Infusions while still wet...

...and scrape through.

Next came the stencilling - choose a fairly open one...

...and then you get the full effect of the crackles. Some of the Infusion colour will come through.

I've added extra colour with Distress Crayons:

 And then wiped them back:

I've deliberately stamped in a dye based ink...

...so that I could pull out some of the outline colour to create shadows:

Add touches of colour as well:
