I would like to share with you a card I just made:
I created a background by painting One Step Crackle over a piece of black card stock. I taped the edges of that piece to get that black "frame" around the gold, which I applied after the clear crackle layer was dry...
The close up isn't that fabulous, but you can kinda see the crackle...
I layered a Spellbinders die first, then the frame I made by cutting several frames from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and gluing them together. The frame was then covered with Black Soot Distress Paint, tons of liquid pearl dots and after all was dry, a thick layer of crackle paint and some Deco Art Gold Rush Metallic Lustre.
The little masks are Verve Stamps diecuts, stamped with a matching stamp and heat embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder.
Some hand made golden tissue paper flowers and a crinkled rustic bow to add extra volume and elegance...
I would like to enter this card into following challenges:
