Crack Crack Crackle

Hey there Rae here from a very hot and humid Darwin, the wet season is not far off - the joys of tropical living - I love it really :-)

I have been playing with Helmar's Two step crackle medium to make some cards

This is how I went about it;

1. Coat a sheet of cardstock with Helmar's step 1 crackle medium and allow to dry.

2. Apply a coat of Helmar's step 2 crackle medium and allow to dry.

3. Cut, tear the desired pieces of crackle paper and start  building your cards.

4. Easy hey ?

5. I used an assortment of embellies, chippies and ink sprays to finish them off - adhereing them into place with Helmar's Acid Free Glue, 450 Quick Dry & Quickfix Adhesive Runner

6. So what are you waiting for, start crackling today - remember you can share your Helmar creations on our Facebook page we love to see what you create with our aweosme products.

Here are the cards I made with my piece of crackled cardstock - I did also use another 2 sheets of plain cardstock as the base of my cards choosing to add the crackled paper on top.

 

I just love the added texture that Helmar's 2 step Crackle Medium has to offer.

nothing like tearing to add extra dimension and texture ........... look at the crackle popping!!

Need a HELMAR fix well you can get in HERE - until next time happy Helmar Creating and take care xx

Rae,

This may be a stupid question, but I have never worked with cackle medium (yet!). . . Did you apply color UNDER the crackle or onto it after you used both mediums? I love the effect you achieved in all of these and was wondering if it is paint, ink, etc. . .

Thanks for any help you can provide. You do beautiful work and I so enjoy your posts!
