I'm addicted to Helmar's 2-step crackle medium. (Robert Palmer is probley rolling in his grave) Oh yeah...wanna join me? We could start a self help group....but alas I don't really want the help. This stuff is too cool! Today's project is a "trinket" box and card gift set. I painted my surface white ..the chipboard box you see.. and than did the crackle process. I than added some brown shoe polish for aging. LOVED the look of the creamy white with brown crackling. I took some close ups to show you the effect. With this old fashion look I knew I wanted to use the ever lovely Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden collection. For my adhesive I used Helmar's 450 quick dry. So hope I might have tempted you to crackle something! Once you start you wont stop! cherry
