Crack It Up - Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Today I am participating in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.

Theme this week is

ok its actually "Crack it up" but I couldn't resist this image!

So for this Monday's challenge... well I don't have any of that crackle paint, decoupage, or all the other mediums to play with but I chanced upon this card design on Pinterest I immediately thought it looked cracked and couldn't resist!

Such a beautiful design by sylspassion and happens to be the winner from the previous competition "All Loved Up" on Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge!

I really wanted to make my own - I used Distress Oxides and a different embossing folder by Gemini - but I need a "missing you" card for my friends across the country.

Products used:

• Distress oxide ink - seedless preserves, peacock feathers, mowed lawn, wild honey, carved pumpkin, abandoned coral, and picked raspberry

• Blending tool

• spray bottle (water)

• tarnished brass acrylic paint

• pixie dust

• paint brush (for splatter drops)

• Salty Ladies from CZ design\Simon says stamp (miss you)

• Geometric Triangles 3D embossing folder

• liquid glue

• copic multiliner 0.3 black

• Neenah white card stock

Techniques or tips and tricks

• Blend the colors first, spray with water and heat set, then emboss with 3D embossing folder

• Add flicks of brass/glitter after

• don't be afraid to freestyle it to get the exact sentiment you need!
